Key Points

To assess the inter-rater reliability of MRI NI-RADS in follow-up imaging for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC).
Evaluated MRI imaging using NI-RADS for OPSCC patients.
Assessed inter-rater agreement among multiple radiologists.
Focused on the first post-treatment MRI for reliability analysis.
Demonstrated moderate inter-rater agreement in interpreting MRI NI-RADS.
Identified greater challenges in evaluating the first post-treatment MRI.

Implication

Moderate inter-rater agreement in imaging evaluations of OPSCC indicates potential for improved clinical consistency.

Abstract

MRI NI-RADS showed moderate inter-rater agreement in OPSCC patients, with greater interpretative challenges in the evaluation of the first post-treatment MRI. Regular application of the NI-RADS in clinical settings may help enhance consistency and reliability in imaging evaluations.
