Bp-MRI Based Multi-planar VI-RADS

This study is a prospective, single-center, observational clinical trial, enrolling 100 patients with malignant bladder tumors admitted to the Department of Urology at the People's Hospital of Jiangsu Province for treatment with transurethral resection or radical cystectomy. All enrolled patients underwent multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging, including T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) in coronal, sagittal, and axial planes and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the same planes. The Vascular Invasion- and Invasion into the Detrusor muscle Assessment and Reporting System (VI-RADS) scores were evaluated for the enrolled patients. Diagnostic thresholds for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) were set at VI-RADS scores ≥3 and ≥4, respectively. Descriptive statistics including sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated and compared against the surgical pathology gold standard results. This study preliminarily validates the diagnostic performance of the 3D magnetic resonance-derived VI-RADS score in the assessment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
