[Abstract] Bladder cancer is the most common urinary malignant tumor, because it is difficult to accurately classify and stage it, which makes the diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer patients face many problems. With the continuous development and improvement of modern medical technology. In 2018, the Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) based on multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) technology has been recognized by the Japanese Society of Abdominal Radiology, European Association of Urological and European Society of Urology Imaging. The VI-RADS score can classify bladder cancer more accurately and provide guidance for clinicians in the treatment of patients with bladder cancer. This article reviews the research status and progress of VI-RADS in bladder cancer, VI-RADS parameters and the selection of the optimal cut-off value for the diagnosis of bladder cancer, and the combination of VI-RADS and radiomics, and looks forward to future research directions such as tumor size and tumor location on VI-RADS, aiming to provide reference for research in this field.
