Improving imaging processes will lead to more successful treatments and help reduce morbidity in men with the disease. A study led by researchers at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center has ...

Biparametric MRI, which omits dynamic contrast-enhanced sequences, similarly detected clinically significant prostate cancer to multiparametric MRI. Biparametric MRI was also noninferior to ...

Prostate zonal anatomy is best demonstrated with MRI. On T2-weighted sequences, the normal prostate can be divided into the peripheral zone, which shows high signal intensity owing to its high water ...

There are several strategies for the early detection of prostate cancer. The first step is often a blood test for prostate-specific antigen (PSA). If PSA levels exceed a certain threshold, the next ...

An MRI is a test that produces very clear pictures of the human body without the use of X-rays. Instead, MRI uses a large magnet, radio waves, and a computer to produce these images. In prostate ...

Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with or without targeted biopsy, is an alternative to standard transrectal ultrasonography–guided biopsy for prostate-cancer detection in men with a ...

With the help of powerful magnetic field and radio waves, MRI creates detailed images of tissues as well as internal organs. This technique does not utilize ionizing radiations such as X-rays. It ...
