Synopsis

Keywords: Prostate, Prostate, Prostate Cancer, Multiparametric MRI, New MR SequencesThis educational abstract will go through the more recent MRI pulse sequences that are being developed for the early detection and better characterization of prostate cancer (PCa). By incorporating cutting-edge multiparametric MR imaging (mpMRI) approaches into the diagnostic workup, it is possible to address current challenges with serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level based screening, problems with overdiagnosis with random biopsy, and multifocality of the PCa. Due to high negative predictive value of mpMRI, it not only improves the diagnosis of clinically significant PCa but also aids in lowering the number of unnecessary biopsies.
