Fifty-five patients with elevated PSA (>4 ng/ml), no
previous biopsy and low risk of prostate cancer (PCa)
underwent mpMRI at 2 institutions (41 at institution A
and 14 patients at institution B), consisting of
anatomical T2-weighted imaging (T2wi), diffusion
weighted imaging (DWI), proton magnetic resonance
spectroscopy and dynamic contrast enhanced MRI, using
surface array coils followed by MRI targeted TRUS-guided
biopsy in addition to 12 core systematic biopsy. The use
of T2wi+DWI was shown to be an accurate tool for initial
decision management and targeting biopsy in patients
with elevated PSA.
