Characteristics of Detected and Missed Prostate Cancer Foci on 3-T Multiparametric MRI Using an Endorectal Coil Correlated With Whole-Mount Thin-Section Histopathology

Abstract

Compared with the prostate cancer lesions that were detected on multiparametric MRI, the prostate cancer lesions that were missed were significantly smaller, were more likely to be low-grade lesions (i.e., Gleason score of 6), were more commonly satellite lesions, and were more likely to be located in the prostatic apex.
