Value of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Imaging and Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Imaging for Detecting Prostate Cancer Foci in Men With Prior Negative Biopsy

Abstract

The combination of MRSI and DCEMR showed the potential to guide biopsy to cancer foci in patients with previously negative TRUS biopsy. To avoid a potential bias, represented from having taken more samples in group B (mean of cores, 12.17) than in group A (10 cores), in the future a MRSI/DCEMR directed biopsy could be prospectively compared with a saturation biopsy procedure.
