A Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) based on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) was developed to provide accurate information for the diagnosis of muscle-invasive bladder cancers (MIBCs). In this study we evaluated the interobserver agreement and diagnostic performance of VI-RADS. We retrospectively evaluated data for 74 consecutive patients with bladder cancer who had undergone mp-MRI before transurethral resection in a single institution from January 2010 to August 2018. ⋯ Our study demonstrated that interobserver agreement was excellent among five readers (ICC 0.85, 95% confidence interval 0.80-0.89) and the diagnostic performance of VI-RADS was represented as a pooled AUC of 0.90 (95% confidence interval 0.87-0.93). PATIENT We evaluated the interobserver agreement and diagnostic performance of a new scoring system based on magnetic resonance imaging called a Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Our results indicate that VI-RADS is suitable as a comprehensive tool for appropriate treatment planning for patients with bladder cancer.
