Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Prostatovesiculography For Prostate Cancer

Abstract

Along with a sustained increase in the incidence of prostate cancer in developed countries, there has been a change in the diagnostic approach in these patients. The traditional diagnosis based on the measurement of prostate-specific antigen and randomized biopsy has shown to have many shortcomings since it overdiagnoses non-significant cancers and underdiagnoses clinically significant cancers. Multiparametric prostate MRI has proven to be useful since it reduces this type of failure. This article will review the history of prostate MRI and PI-RADS, with the aim of reviewing the performance of these methods and their current indications.
