Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) is being employed with increasing frequency to evaluate a broader spectrum of patients with diverse types of cancer and for cancer screening purposes. While clinical guidelines support its use, a standardized radiological approach is still lacking. To improve consistency in the acquisition, interpretation, and reporting of WB-MRI examinations, three reporting and data systems (RADSs) have been recently suggested: METastasis Reporting and Data System for Prostate Cancer (MET-RADS-P), Myeloma Response Assessment and Diagnosis System (MY-RADS), and Oncologically Relevant Findings Reporting and Data System (ONCO-RADS). MET-RADS-P was developed to stage and monitor men with advanced prostate cancer using WB-MRI. It has emerged as a reliable imaging biomarker for predicting metastatic disease progression and assessing treatment response. MY-RADS was developed to stage and monitor patients with multiple myeloma using WB-MRI, emerging as a prognostic imaging biomarker. However, the evidence regarding inter-reader agreement for MY-RADS is currently limited. ONCO-RADS was developed to standardize the use of WB-MRI for cancer screening in individuals with cancer predisposition syndromes and in the general population. While initial findings are promising, the evidence supporting its use remains limited. To further validate and expand upon these promising preliminary findings, additional large-scale, prospective, multicenter studies are necessary.
全身磁共振成像(WB-MRI)正越来越频繁地用于评估更广泛的各类癌症患者以及用于癌症筛查目的。虽然临床指南支持其使用,但仍缺乏标准化的放射学方法。为提高WB-MRI检查采集、解读和报告的一致性,最近提出了三种报告和数据系统(RADSs):前列腺癌转移报告和数据系统(MET-RADS-P)、骨髓瘤反应评估和诊断系统(MY-RADS)以及肿瘤相关发现报告和数据系统(ONCO-RADS)。MET-RADS-P旨在利用WB-MRI对晚期前列腺癌男性患者进行分期和监测。它已成为预测转移性疾病进展和评估治疗反应的可靠影像生物标志物。MY-RADS旨在利用WB-MRI对多发性骨髓瘤患者进行分期和监测,成为一种预后影像生物标志物。然而,目前关于MY-RADS阅片者间一致性的证据有限。ONCO-RADS旨在规范WB-MRI在有癌症易感性综合征个体和普通人群癌症筛查中的使用。虽然初步结果很有前景,但支持其使用的证据仍然有限。为进一步验证和扩展这些有前景的初步发现,有必要开展更多大规模、前瞻性、多中心研究。
