Vellet and associates evaluated the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine the success of cryosurgical intervention in patients with prostate cancer.text editorEmerging Infectious Diseases
Regardless of which imaging protocol was used, the expe- rienced radiologist was able to determine cancer stage with similar sensitivity, speci- ficity and accuracy; however, the two less- experienced radiologists showed a substantial improvement in their ability to interpret the 10 NATURE CLINICAL ...

The purpose of this diagnostic meta-analysis was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of multiparametric MRI for prostate cancer detection using anatomic T2-weighted imaging combined with two functional techniques: diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI). MATERIALS ...
With the use of magnetic resonance–guided daily adaptive SBRT, clinicians can customize radiation dosing to accommodate changes in prostate anatomy during treatment, which may also make SBRT safer and less toxic for patients. To determine whether this approach does reduce patient side effects, investi...
The multiparametric MRI approach includes a combination of information from various sequences including T2-weighted, dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE), and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) to determine high suspicion foci for transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy. Multiparametric MRI of the prostate offers ...
(4 + 3), 8 and 9, pT: pT2and pT3]. After classifying the patients based on D’Amico risk classification, binary logistic regression analysis was used to determine an independent effect of each predictor on high-risk disease (biopsy GS ≥ 8 or PSA > 20, more than one ...
Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging for monitoring prostate cancer progression in patients managed by active surveillance OBJECTIVES: We studied patients managed by active surveillance to determine whether there was a difference over time in apparent diffusion coefficients (AD...

Objectives:To determine the diagnostic accuracy of 3T multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) for detecting and locating prostate cancer (PCa) on Dickinson's 27-sector map, using histopathology specimens from radical prostatectomy (RP) as the reference standard. Patients and methods:The ...
I think a comprehensive approach really lends itself to further areas of research to determine when we should be using biomarkers, when we should be using MRI, and what the ideal combination of both is in order to help risk assess men, in terms of moving forward with a prostate biopsy. ...
