Assessment of multi-parameter dual-energy CT in predicting muscle invasion in bladder cancer: comparison with VI-RADS

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of dual-energy CT (DECT) in predicting muscle invasion in bladder cancer compared to the VI-RADS scoring system.
Utilized a multi-parameter dual-energy CT (DECT) model for assessment
Compared diagnostic outcomes to the established VI-RADS system
Evaluated preoperative differentiation of muscle invasion in bladder cancer cases
DECT showed a diagnostic accuracy similar to that of VI-RADS
DECT improved diagnostic confidence specifically in VI-RADS 3-4 lesions

Abstract

Preoperative differentiation of muscle invasion is critical for bladder cancer management. The DECT-based model yields diagnostic accuracy statistically comparable to VI-RADS. The DECT-based model improves diagnostic confidence in VI-RADS 3-4 lesions.
