Our study demonstrated that both volumetric ADC
histogram analysis and VI-RADS can contribute to the distinguishment of muscle
invasion for bladder cancer, and the volumetric ADC histogram parameters can
provide additional value.

carcinoma in the posterior bladder wall in a 71-year-old-man. a. Axial
T2-weighted image; b. Axial DWI images; c. Corresponding
diffusion-weighted image reconstruction of ADC values (ADC values are given in
units of ×10-3 mm2/s). d. Volumetric ADC histogram
shows a large portion of voxels with low ADC values and positive skewness of
2.993 and positive kurtosis of 11.225.
