Use of Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) for detecting the muscle invasion of bladder cancer: a diagnostic meta-analysis

ConclusionsThe VI-RADS score can provide a good predictive ability for detecting the muscle invasiveness of primary bladder cancer with VI-RADS 3 or VI-RADS 4 as the cutoff value.Key Points• VI-RADS score has high sensitivity and specificity for predicting muscle invasion.• The diagnostic efficiencies of VI-RADS 3 and VI-RADS 4 as the cutoff value are similar.• VI-RADS score could be used for detecting muscle invasion of bladder cancer in clinical practice.
