MULTIPARAMETRIC MRI (MpMRI) FOR PROSATE CANCER
نویسنده
چکیده
Key Learning Points: 1) Currently the most valuable and practical MpMRI protocol consists of T2WI, DWI and DCE. 2) Significant and additive improvement in the predictive values for prostate cancer detection, especially in the PZ, is achievable when combinations of the imaging strategies are combined. 3) Information from MpMRI can be used to direct and increase the yield from prostate biopsies. 4) Insights into the aggressiveness of a given prostate lesion can be obtained with one or several quantitative MRI parameters (ADC, in particular); such characterization may facilitate the selection of patients for enrollment and maintenance on active surveillance protocols.

Multiparametric MRI followed by targeted prostate biopsy for men with suspected prostate cancer: a clinical decision analysis
OBJECTIVE To compare the diagnostic outcomes of the current approach of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided biopsy in men with suspected prostate cancer to an alternative approach using multiparametric MRI (mpMRI), followed by MRI-targeted biopsy if positive. DESIGN Clinical decision analysis was used to synthesise data from recently emerging evidence in a format that is relevant for clinica...
متن کاملMultiparametric magnetic resonance imaging for prostate cancer: A review and update for urologists
Recently, imaging of prostate cancer has greatly advanced since the introduction of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI). mpMRI consists of T2-weighted sequences combined with several functional sequences including diffusion-weighted imaging, dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging, and/or magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging. Interest has been growing in mpMRI because no single MRI ...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging in active surveillance—a modern approach
In recent years, active surveillance has been increasingly adopted as a conservative management approach to low and sometimes intermediate risk prostate cancer, to avoid or delay treatment until there is evidence of higher risk disease. A number of studies have investigated the role of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) in this setting. MpMRI refers to the use of multiple MRI se...

INTRODUCTION This study was conducted to describe the changes in repeat multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) occurring in prostate cancer (PCa) patients during active surveillance (AS), and to study possible associations between mpMRI-related parameters in predicting prostate biopsy (Bx) Gleason score (GS) upgrading >3+3 and protocol-based treatment change (TC). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study cohort ...
متن کاملThe state of prostate MRI in 2013: into the breach.
In their comprehensive review of the state of the art of prostate MRI technology, Gupta et al do a masterful job of summarizing the technically complex subject of multiparametric MRI (mpMRI). The review is a good primer for anyone getting started in bringing mpMRI of the prostate to his or her institution. However, while the “what” of mpMRI is well covered; we would like to use this space to ex...
