To compare the diagnostic performance of the ESUR PI-RADS scoring system for multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MP MRI) of the prostate using either three (T2w, DCE, DWI) or four MRI parameters (T2w, DCE, DWI, 3D 1H-MRSI) for the detection and grading of prostate cancer (PCa). The results demonstrate that diagnostic accuracy of MP MRI of the prostate using three MRI parameters is as good as MP MRI of the prostate using four MRI parameters. Adding 3D 1H-MRSI as a fourth parameter doesnt increase diagnostic accuracy for differentiation of benign and malignant lesions or of high-grade and low-grade PCa.
