Advances in Prostate Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Abstract

Prostate magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a widely used imaging technique to detect intraprostatic lesions and guide prostate biopsies, with continuous technical advances for better accuracy in prostate cancer diagnosis. Current evaluation of prostate multiparametric MR imaging mainly depends on qualitative evaluation, which is prone to inter-reader variation. Recent advances in prostate MR imaging, such as quantitative T2 mapping and abbreviated MR imaging protocols (eg, biparametric MR imaging), are designed to simplify prostate MR imaging acquisition and interpretation.

Keywords: Abbreviated prostate MR imaging; Diffusion-weighted MR imaging; Prostate cancer; T2 mapping.
