Abstrakt: Background: Bladder cancer is the most common tumor of the genitourinary tract. Transitional cell carcinoma is divided into two categories: non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). In spite of the high recurrence rate, NMIBC has good prognosis, while MIBC has poor prognosis due to local organ invasion and metastases. Mp-MRI shows better tumor detection and staging. The aim of this study is to validate VI-RADS in detecting MIBC and assessing interobserver agreement and impact of reader's experience. Results: At cutoff value of VI-RADS score ≥ 3, the VI-RADS showed sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy of 96.8%,83.3%, 93.8%, 90.9%, and 93%, respectively, for reader 1, 93.5%, 91.7%, 84.6%, and 93% for reader 2, and 96.8%,83.3%, 93.8%, 90.9%, and 93% for reader 3. The interobserver agreement between individual readers was excellent among the three readers. Conclusions: Vesical imaging-reporting and data system (VI-RADS) is a good method showing satisfactory sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic value for detecting detrusor muscle invasion.
