The goal of this investigation from Germany was to prospectively compare multiparametric MRI (1H-MR spectroscopy (MRS), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), contrast-enhanced) and standard T2W MRI at 1.5 ...

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 ...

Millions of men could benefit from a new, faster prostate cancer scan. The quicker, cheaper MRI scan was just as accurate at diagnosing prostate cancer in clinical trials as the current 30- to ...

Prostate MRI currently lacks the accuracy to replace biopsies in active surveillance for prostate cancer. The negative predictive value of MRI remains below 90%, the general goal for safely avoiding ...

Millions of men could benefit from a faster 15-minute prostate cancer scan that paves the way to a national screening programme. The new MRI scan takes half the time of the current one and costs half ...

A new survey of UK radiologists finds that 100% of NHS trusts have now used pre-biopsy MRI, although variations persist in ...

Prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of death among American men, killing one in 44. In the United States, 3.3 million men are survivors of prostate cancer, and the risk for developing the ...

A quicker, cheaper MRI scan was just as accurate at diagnosing prostate cancer as the current 30-40 minute scan and should be rolled out to make MRI scans more accessible to men who need one, ...
