The learning curve in bladder MRI using VI-RADS assessment score during an interactive dedicated training program.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of an interactive training program on the learning curve of radiology residents for bladder MRI interpretation using the VI-RADS score.

Methods

Three radiology residents with minimal experience in bladder MRI served as readers. They blindly evaluated 200 studies divided into 4 subsets of 50 cases over a 3-month period. After 2 months, the first subset was reassessed, resulting in a total of 250 evaluations. An interactive training program was provided and included educational lessons and case-based practice. The learning curve was constructed by plotting mean agreement as the ratio of correct evaluations per batch. Inter-reader agreement and diagnostic performance analysis were performed with kappa statistics and
