Despite growing international interest, expert consensus, and the system's inclusion in most major guidelines, real-world clinical adoption of VI-RADS remains limited. This AJR Expert Panel Narrative Review explores the key barriers that hinder the implementation of VI-RADS into everyday workflows across diverse healthcare settings, including skepticism among referring clinicians, an inability (unlike cystoscopy-based staging) to perform simultaneous tumor resection, suboptimal posttreatment performance, and variability in image quality and reader experience. Additional logistical and economic factors, including restricted access outside of specialized centers and limited cost-effectiveness data, further impair widespread uptake. The article outlines strategic recommendations to address these challenges, including standardizing bladder MRI quality, incorporating structured educational initiatives, refining VI-RADS protocols for posttreatment settings, and fostering multidisciplinary collaboration. VI-RADS has the potential to become a cornerstone of bladder cancer management, but the validation and implementation of a bladder-MRI pathway will depend on continued refinement, acceptance, and alignment across clinical, technical, and guideline domains.</p>","PeriodicalId":55529,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Roentgenology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144979697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stratified random sampling was used to identify cohorts of DM and DBT screening examinations performed from January 2010 through December 2019. Radiologists' interpretations were extracted from clinical reports. A commercial AI system classified examinations as low, intermediate, or elevated risk. Breast cancer diagnoses within 1 year after screening examinations were identified from a state cancer registry. AI and radiologist performance were compared. <b>Results:</b> The DM cohort included 26,693 examinations in 20,409 women (mean age, 58.1 years). AI classified 58.2%, 27.7%, and 14.0% of examinations as low, intermediate, and elevated risk, respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, recall rate and NPV for radiologists were 88.6%, 93.3%, 7.2%, and 99.9%; for AI (defining positive as elevated risk), 74.4%, 86.3%, 14.0%, and 99.8%; and for AI (defining positive as intermediate/elevated risk), 94.0%, 58.6%, 41.8%, and 99.9%. The DBT cohort included 4824 examinations in 4379 women (mean age, 61.3 years). AI classified 68.1%, 19.8%, and 12.1% of examinations as low, intermediate, and elevated risk, respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, recall rate, and NPV for radiologists were 83.8%, 93.7%, 6.9%, and 99.9%; for AI (defining positive results as elevated risk), 78.4%, 88.4%, 12.1%, and 99.8%; and for AI (defining positive results as intermediate/elevated risk), 89.2%, 68.5%, 31.9%, and 99.8%. <b>Conclusion:</b> In large DM and DBT cohorts, AI at either diagnostic threshold achieved high NPV but had higher recall rates than radiologists. Defining positive AI results to include intermediate-risk examinations, versus only elevated-risk examinations, detected additional cancers but yielded markedly increased recall rates. <b>Clinical Impact:</b> The findings support AI's potential to aid radiologists' workflow efficiency. Yet, strategies are needed to address frequent false-positive results, particularly in the intermediate-risk category.</p>","PeriodicalId":55529,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Roentgenology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144979831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
