Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging in prostate cancer diagnosis: a must

Abstract

Prostate cancer is an important health public issue. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the best imaging modality for evaluating the prostate and accurately diagnose the prostatic carcinoma, especially in cases with aggressive and larger volume tumors. The main objectives of this article are: to review the multiparametric MRI assessment technique used in prostate pathology, to list and illustrate the most common MRI features in prostate cancer, and to present the role of the multidisciplinary team in the diagnosis and management of patients with prostate tumoral pathology.
