In this prospective multicenter trial, a prior developed unique MRI acquisition and reporting protocol, IMPROD bpMRI (NCT01864135), enabled the detection of 97% (143/146) of men with Gleason score ≥3+4. IMPROD bpMRI consists of T2-weighted imaging and three separate diffusion weighted imaging acquisitions with acquisition time <15 minutes. IMPROD bpMRI appears to be a powerful tool for improved prostate cancer risk stratification in men with a clinical suspicion of prostate cancer based on elevated PSA and/or digital rectal examination.
