Highlights • Suboptimal imaging test use may represent missed opportunities for more timely diagnosis of bladder and kidney cancer.• Our novel linked dataset described patterns of imaging test use and predictors of a first imaging test use in patients with these cancers.• 1 in 5 patients received a longer than average time to diagnosis of 4–8 months after a first imaging test.• Patients with less specific symptoms, and with kidney cancer were more likely to receive a first imaging test 4–8 months before diagnosis.
