Christidis D, et al. – In this overview, researchers sought to present the establishment of multiparametric MRI and its use in prostate cancer diagnosis while educating on the implication of certain radiological findings. It was revealed that diagnosis, biopsy targeting, surveillance, operative planning and staging has led to endorsement of multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) and it is imperative that treating Urologists have an understanding of mpMRI to appreciate the power and limitations of its findings.

Methods

• In this study, the physics of MRI is reviewed prior to the explanation of different phase technologies in “multiparametric” scanning.
• They applied sample images of the prostate .

Results

• They reviewed modalities of multi–parametric MRI of the prostate and showed the interpretation of certain findings on sample images to educate clinicians about their presence and significance.
