Evaluation of the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System for the Detection of Prostate Cancer by the Results of Targeted Biopsy of the Prostate

Abstract

The PI-RADS scoring system shows a good diagnostic performance for the detection of prostate cancer when using a sum score. However, DCE-MRI does not seem to add significant value when evaluated according to the recommended criteria. Assigning a score for T2WI to central gland lesions and for DWI to peripheral zone lesions might be sufficient for stratification of patients for further diagnostic workup.
