Background and Objectives: The Vesical Imaging–Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) represents a standardized approach for interpreting multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) in bladder cancer (BC) evaluation. This systematic review...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been proven to be an indispensable imaging method in bladder cancer, and it can accurately identify muscular invasion of bladder cancer. Multiparameter MRI is a promising tool widely used for preoperative staging...
The Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) has been introduced to provide preoperative bladder cancer staging and has proved to be reliable in assessing the presence of muscle invasion in the pre-TURBT (trans-urethral resection of bladde...
Bladder cancer (BC) is common worldwide, and has aggressive features and high rates of relapse despite treatments. Approximately 30% of patients present with muscle invasive disease, and therefore, high risk of metastasis. This review provides an ove...
Background: The Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) has limited diagnostic accuracy in distinguishing non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) within VI-RADS categories 2 and 3, despite its value for overall NMIBC assessment. Dynami...
Background/Objectives: The Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) provides high diagnostic accuracy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer; however, its prognostic value remains limited. We propose serum cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA 21-1)...
This review focuses on the principles, applications, and performance of mpMRI for bladder imaging. Quantitative imaging biomarkers (QIBs) derived from mpMRI are increasingly used in oncological applications, including tumor staging, prognosis, and as...
Accurate distinction between non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) remains the key local staging problem in bladder cancer because treatment intensity, timing of radical therapy, and suitability for blad...
The Vesical Imaging Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) is used to detect muscle-invasive bladder cancer, with emerging prognostic implications. Integrating imaging parameters with molecular biomarkers may improve risk stratification in bladder cance...
The evolution in imaging has had an increasing role in the diagnosis, staging and follow up of bladder cancer. Conventional cystoscopy is crucial in the diagnosis of bladder cancer. However, a cystoscopic procedure cannot always depict carcinoma in s...
Bladder cancer (BC) presents a significant global health burden, characterized by high recurrence rates post-initial treatment. Gender differences in BC prevalence and response to therapy emphasize the importance of personalized treatment strategies....
Background: to evaluate the feasibility of texture analysis (TA) based on diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) in staging and grading bladder cancer (BC) and to compare it with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and biparametric vesical imaging reporti...
(1): Background: With the recent introduction of vesical imaging reporting and data system (VI-RADS), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become the main imaging method used for the preoperative local staging of bladder cancer (BCa). However, the VI...
Bladder cancer is a common malignancy with high recurrence rates and significant morbidity, necessitating accurate diagnostic and prognostic tools. Although cystoscopy and transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) remain reference standards, t...
