The article discusses views of some prostate cancer experts on the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-ultrasound fusion biopsy. According to Dr. Leonard S. Marks, the procedure brings the MRI into the clinic...
Due to the clinical implementation of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging, detection of csPCa is now possible with high sensitivity [7]. Multiparametric MRI combines anatomical MRI sequences with functional sequences to find lesions within the prostate that are suspicious of cancer. These lesions...

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second leading cause of death in men and the most common tumor in men in the western hemisphere1. Therapeutic strategies are highly dependent on the assessment of the lymph node (LN) status, since it affects the therapy regimen and overall prognosis in newly diag...
The wide bore MRI differs from the traditional MRI scanner in the size of the opening (“bore”). In a traditional bore, the opening is just slightly larger than the patient, which can create a restrictive and uncomfortable environment. With its 70-centimeter opening, the wide bore MRI ...

Multiparametric MRI of the prostate is now recommended as the initial diagnostic test for men presenting with suspected prostate cancer, with a negative MRI enabling safe avoidance of biopsy and a positive result enabling MRI-directed sampling of lesions. The diagnostic pathway consists of several step...
mp-MRI imaging of the prostate often leads to interpreting doubts and misdiagnosis due to the many interpretative pitfalls that a tissue, whether healthy or treated, may cause. These “false-positive” findings may occur in each stage of the disease history, from the primary diagnosis and staging...
LGE MRI has also been used to evaluate radiation induced fibrosis in the prostate [16]. However, limited work has utilized UTE and LGE MRI to evaluate varying grades of radiation induced fibrosis (i.e. FDiffuse and FDense) in gynecologic cancer patients; specifically those receiving a highly ...
These findings show decisively that MRI together with targeted biopsies offer patients a less invasive procedure, the chance to avoid a biopsy all together and can help avoid the over-treatment of clinically insignificantprostatecancer—all while detecting a higher rate of clinically significant cancers...
