Use of Multiparametric MRI in T-Staging of Prostate Cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies in men, generally with a slow growth rate and early detection is essential for a complete treatment. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MP MRI) lead to a better choice of therapy by improving detection and staging of prostate cancer. Conventional sequences are useful to evaluate prostate cancer in the peripheral zones; functional acquisitions, represented by DWI and DCe, extent the MR diagnostic accuracy particularly in central and anterior fibromuscular stroma zones. This technique also improves the differential diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Dosimetric and Radiobiological Evaluation of Multiparametric MRI-guided Dose Painting in radiotherapy of Prostate Cancer
Introduction: Radiotherapy is one of the treatment options for locally advanced prostate cancer, however with standard radiation doses it is not always very effective. One of the strategies to improve the efficiency of radiotherapy is increasing the dose. In this study to increase tumor local control rates a new radiotherapy method, known as dose painting (DP) was investigated....

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used for staging prostate cancer (PCa) since the 1990’s, more precisely after the advent of the endorectal coil, which enabled significant improvement in the quality of the examination. Also, the standardization of prostate MRI with multiparametric sequences (including high resolution T2-weighted, diffusion and dynamic contrast-enhanced or perfusion ima...
متن کاملIncidental Bladder Cancer Detected on Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Prostate Gland.
The increased use of axial imaging in various fields of medicine has led to an increased frequency of incidental findings, specifically incidental cancer lesions. Hence, as the use of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MP-MRI) for prostate cancer detection, staging, and management becomes more widespread, the potential for additional incidental findings in the pelvis increases. Herein,...
