简要总结
This research aimed to determine how accurately multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), when interpreted using the VI-RADS scoring system, can distinguish between invasive and non-invasive bladder cancer.
详细描述
Bladder cancer (BC) is among the most widespread malignancies needing management. The majority of bladder cancers are urothelial cell carcinomas, which are further classified histologically into low-grade and high-grade categories.
Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI), a recent advancement in MRI technology, combines functional sequences like DWI and DCE-MRI with anatomical T1- and T2-weighted images. This integrated approach enhances tumor detection and staging accuracy, aids in post-therapy response monitoring, and facilitates the identification of local disease recurrence.
