[PI-RADS 2.0 for Prostate MRI]. Radiologe. 2017 Jul 18;: Authors: Franiel T, Röthke M Abstract The PI-RADS 2.0 classification was established by an international collaboration of the European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR), the American College of Radiology (ACR), and AdMetech Foundation to globally standardize the acquisition and interpretation of multiparametric prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The PI-RADS 2.0 aims to improve the detection, localization, staging and risk stratification of patients with suspected or histologically confirmed prostate cancer. Suspicious areas on T2-weighted (T2w) MRI, diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) were assessed for the presence of a clinically significant prostate cancer with scale from 1 to 5 with 5 being most likely to represent clinically significant prostate cancer. The dominant sequence to detect significant prostate cancer in the peripheral zone is DWI and for the transition zone T2w images. For the local staging of prostate cancer criteria for the assessment of an extracapsular growth were formulated. PMID: 28721448 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
