Clinical applications of multiparametric MRI within the prostate cancer diagnostic pathway

Interest in integrating MRI into the prostate (CaP) cancer diagnostic pathway seems to be gaining ground [1]. Multiparametric (mp)MRI combines diffusion-weighted, dynamic contrast enhanced sequences or MR spectroscopy with conventional T2-weighted sequences. This has resulted in accuracy rates for the detection of clinically important CaP that compare favorably with established tests, such as X-ray mammography, for the detection of breast cancer...
