Multiparametric MRI of Prostate Cancer: Recent Advances

Purpose of Review: To bring the radiologists up to date on the state of the art of the magnetic resonance imaging in detection of prostate cancer and on the findings to consider for reports. Recent Findings: Recently, the members of American College of Radiologist updated the new guidelines (Prostate Imaging—Reporting and Data System) with new recommendations on the acquisition and reporting of MRI for staging and restaging of prostate cancer, giving a particular importance to the latest advanced MRI techniques (diffusion-weighted imaging and dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging). Summary: Magnetic resonance imaging plays a fundamental role in prostate cancer staging and restaging; moreover, it allows the detection of some findings with prognostic value. This review includes the last American College of Radiologist updated Recommendations on magnetic resonance imaging protocol, interpretation, and reporting.
