In the United States, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening is often performed annually, with a low threshold for biopsy and aggressive treatment for detected cancers. Now, the use of multiparametric (functional and anatomical) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is being examined for the evaluation of men with an elevated PSA level. The findings...Read more

Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) is a novel imaging tool that is increasingly used for prostate cancer detection. Key obstacles to routine use of prostate MRI include quality control, cost and access. To optimise resource utilisation and reduce unnecessary costs, a new machine learning model has been developed for identifying which patients could benefit...Read more
