Prospective Validation of Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System Using a Next-Generation Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scanner-Is Denoising Deep Learning Reconstruction Useful?
The Vesical Imaging Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) was launched in 2018 to standardize reporting of magnetic resonance imaging for bladder cancer. This study aimed to prospectively validate VI-RADS using a next-generation magnetic resonance imaging scanner and to investigate the usefulness of denoising deep learning reconstruction. ⋯ In this prospective validation study with a next-generation magnetic resonance imaging scanner, VI-RADS showed high predictive accuracy for muscle invasion in patients with bladder cancer before transurethral resection of bladder tumor. Combining T2-weighted imaging with denoising deep learning reconstruction might further improve the diagnostic accuracy of VI-RADS.
