Evaluation of the accuracy of multiparametric <scp>MRI</scp> for predicting prostate cancer pathology and tumour staging in the real world: an multicentre study

Abstract

In patients undergoing RP, an abnormal mpMRI is highly predictive (95% PPV) of significant prostate cancer, with an index lesion concordance of 75%. There has been a significant improvement in accuracy after the adoption of PI-RADS version 2 technical specifications and reporting criteria; however; further study is required to determine if this is attributable to improved experience with mpMRI or changes in the PI-RADS system.
