description

The aim: To present the assumptions and to show the usefulness of Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) based on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) in the diagnostic pathway management of patients with a bladder cancer. Materials and methods: The review is based on available literature from last 10 years from PubMed database and the Przegląd Urologiczny journal focusing on articles on VI-RADS. Overall, 18 articles were included. Presented magnetic resonance images come from the examinations of the patients who were diagnosed with bladder cancer from 2019 to 2021 at Department of Diagnostic Imaging in University Clinical Hospital in Opole, Poland. Conclusions: The newly developed Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System has a potential to play a significant role in staging of the bladder cancer as a non-invasive, comprehensive, and effective diagnostic tool providing accurate information for differentiation non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) from muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). However more prospective studies should be conducted to validate this system in clinical practice.
