Speaker disclosures: Dr. Antonio Westphalen discloses a financial relationship with BotImage LLC [stockholder] within the past 24 months. All conflicts of interest have been mitigated. Why Attend? Prostate MRI is used widely in clinical care for guiding tissue sampling, active surveillance, and local staging. It is, though, a complex study that combines anatomic and functional imaging. Three main sequences are utilized, T2-weighted MRI, diffusion-weighted MRI, and dynamically enhanced MRI, each with its own strengths. The complexity of this technique, along with an increasing demand, has brought new challenges to imaging interpretation. The Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) helps to provide a standardized probabilistic approach for identifying clinically significant prostate cancer.
