Prostate MR Imaging: An Update.

Prostate MR Imaging: An Update. Radiol Clin North Am. 2017 Mar;55(2):303-320 Authors: Shaish H, Taneja SS, Rosenkrantz AB Abstract Improvements in prostate MR imaging techniques and the introduction of MR imaging-targeted biopsies have had central roles in prostate cancer (PCa) management. The role of MR imaging has progressed from largely staging patients with biopsy-proven PCa to detecting, characterizing, and guiding the biopsy of suspected PCa. These diagnostic advances, combined with improved therapeutic interventions, have led to a more sophisticated and individually tailored approach to patients' unique PCa profile. This review discusses the MR imaging, a standardized reporting scheme, and the role of fusion-targeted prostate biopsy. PMID: 28126217 [PubMed - in process]
