Jelle Barentsz MD PhD presented Multiparametric MRI for the Detection of Clinically Significant Prostate Cancer during the 30th Annual International Prostate Cancer Update on January 23rd 2020 in Beaver Creek Colorado. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging mpMRI has emerged as an important tool in the early diagnosis of PCa and is particularly helpful in the detection local staging and estimation of the aggressiveness of prostate cancer lesions 5 6.

Multiparametric Mri May Prevent Unnecessary Prostate Biopsies Renal And Urology News

Multiparametric MRI mpMRI A multiparametric MRI is a special type of MRI scan.

Multiparametric mri prostate cancer. Multiparametric mp MRI of the prostate is essentially any functional form of imaging used to supplement standard anatomical T1 and T2- weighted imaging. Multiparametric MRI scanners use magnetic fields radio waves field gradients and a computer to produce detailed images of the inside of your body. MRI does not involve the use of ionizing radiation eg.

A computer processes the signals and generates a comprehensive series of high-resolution cross-sectional images of the prostate. 51 Example of anterior fibromuscular stroma. In some situations other techniques like MR spectroscopy MRS have also been employed although the latter is not widely used.

The functional sequences of choice are dynamic contrast-enhanced DCE MRI and diffusion-weighted imaging DWI including the calculation of apparent diffusion co-efficient ADC maps. Despite it is well known that MRI has no role as a staging technique it is clear that multiparametric MRI may be of help in active surveillance protocols. Multiparametric MR appearance of AFMS and key points to differentiate it from prostate cancer AFMS anterior fibromuscular stroma T2WI T2-weighted image ADC apparent diffusion coefficient DWI diffusion-weighted imaging DCE dynamic contrast enhancement PCa prostate cancer Fig.

The anatomical and functional aspects of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging mpMRI enables its use as a biomarker that distinguishes between life-threatening and non-life-threatening cancer of the prostate. This type of MRI produces a more detailed picture of your prostate gland than a standard MRI scan does. How likely it is that the cancer will grow.
