To determine radiomic features which are capable of reflecting muscular invasiveness of bladder cancer (BC) and propose a non-invasive strategy for the differentiation of muscular invasiveness preoperatively. ⋯ 3D radiomic signatures derived from T2WI and its high-order derivative maps could reflect muscular invasiveness of bladder cancer, and the proposed strategy can be used to facilitate the preoperative prediction of muscular invasiveness in patients with bladder cancer.
