Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) of the urinary bladder has shown high diagnostic performance in accurate staging of bladder cancer. Vesical Imaging Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) scoring was developed in 2018 to standardize imaging and reporting of bladder cancer on mpMRI and is an excellent tool in preoperative T-staging of patients with high risk bladder cancer. However, there is no concise guide in the literature for practical use of VI-RADS in everyday clinical reporting. In this review, we describe our experience with mpMRI in pretreatment workup of bladder cancer, illustrate the imaging characteristics of VI-RADS categories 1 to 5 using case review, and discuss practical pearls and pitfalls in the use of mpMRI and VI-RADS in the hope of providing an accessible reference for radiologists in daily reporting.
多参数磁共振成像(mpMRI)在膀胱癌的准确分期方面显示出了较高的诊断性能。膀胱影像报告和数据系统(VI-RADS)评分于 2018 年制定,旨在对膀胱癌的 mpMRI 成像和报告进行标准化,是高危膀胱癌患者术前 T 分期的优秀工具。然而,文献中并没有关于 VI-RADS 在日常临床报告中实际应用的简明指南。在这篇综述中,我们描述了我们在膀胱癌预处理工作中使用 mpMRI 的经验,通过病例回顾说明了 VI-RADS 类别 1 至 5 的影像学特征,并讨论了在使用 mpMRI 和 VI-RADS 时的实用技巧和注意事项,希望为日常报告中的放射科医生提供一个易于理解的参考。
