Comparison of likert and PI-RADS version 2 MRI scoring systems for the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer.

CONCLUSION: Likert and PI-RADS systems both demonstrate high cancer detection rates. Likert scoring had a higher AUC with moderately higher specificity and lower positive call rate and could potentially help to reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies performed. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: This paper illustrates that the Likert scoring system has potential to help urologists reduce the number of prostate biopsies performed.
