For health professionals: The role of prostate multiparametric MRI in the diagnosis and management of prostate cancer
Medical imaging is revolutionising healthcare as technological advances in hardware and software development occur at an astonishing pace. Now, advanced imaging is becoming routine for prostate cancer. Multiparametric MRI (mp-MRI) provides high quality images of the prostate that allow radiologists and urologists to assign a score, using a 1-5 scale called the prostate imaging-reporting and data system (PI-RADS), to prostate tumours. PI-RADS scores indicate how likely it is that cancer cells will be found if a biopsy is done.
