Can 3-Tesla Pelvic Phased-Array Multiparametric MRI Avoid Unnecessary Repeat Prostate Biopsy in Patients With PSA < 10 ng/mL?

Micro-Abstract Accuracy of multiparametric pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) in prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis has been evaluated in 100 patients submitted to repeat saturation biopsy. A T1c PCa was found in 37 (37%) cases; mpMRI targeted biopsy diagnosed 29 (29%) cancers missing 8 PCa at r...

Description
Summary:Micro-Abstract Accuracy of multiparametric pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) in prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis has been evaluated in 100 patients submitted to repeat saturation biopsy. A T1c PCa was found in 37 (37%) cases; mpMRI targeted biopsy diagnosed 29 (29%) cancers missing 8 PCa at risk for insignificant cancer; moreover, mpMRI targeted biopsy improved diagnosis of significant anterior zone PCa.
