American College of Radiology NI-RADS is a surveillance imaging template used to predict residual or recurrent tumor in the setting of head and neck cancer. The lexicon and imaging template provides a framework to standardize the interpretations and communications with referring physicians and provides linked management recommendations, which add value in patient care. Studies have shown reasonable interreader agreement and excellent discriminatory power among the different NI-RADS categories. This article reviews the literature associated with NI-RADS and serves as a practical guide for radiologists interested in using the NI-RADS surveillance template at their institution, highlighting frequently encountered pearls and pitfalls.
美国放射学院的 NI-RADS 是一种用于预测头颈部癌症患者残留或复发肿瘤的监测成像模板。这个词汇和成像模板为标准化解释和与转诊医生的沟通提供了一个框架，并提供了相关的管理建议，从而为患者的治疗增加了价值。研究表明，不同的 NI-RADS 类别之间具有合理的读者间一致性和出色的判别能力。本文回顾了与 NI-RADS 相关的文献，为有兴趣在自己的机构使用 NI-RADS 监测模板的放射科医生提供了实用指南，重点介绍了常见的要点和陷阱。
