VI-RADS™

VI-RADS, initially established by a diverse group of international experts, standardizes the interpretation of bladder cancer on MRI. The scoring system focuses on defining the likelihood of muscle-invasive bladder cancer visualized on MRI for precise, noninvasive local staging.

The ACR Works in Progress Committee on VI-RADS seeks to assess the current implementation of the VI-RADS scoring system, pinpoint areas for improvement, and outline future developments. Their goal is to enhance the system’s clinical utility by identifying gaps and defining necessary research areas.
