The effect of capped biparametric magnetic resonance imaging slots on weekly prostate cancer imaging workload.

CONCLUSIONS: A significant reduction in weekly variation of AS cases was demonstrated following the introduction of capped bpMRI slots, which can be used for more accurate long-term planning of MRI workload.
ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: The paper illustrates the potential of introducing capped AS MRI slots using a biparametric protocol to reduce weekly variation in demand and allow for optimising workflow, which will be increasingly important as the demands on radiology departments increase worldwide.
