Learning objectives Empowering radiology residents with a practical approach and a comprehensive understanding becomes an indispensable resource for the proficient interpretation of prostate magnetic resonance images. The aim is to provide residents with the essential knowledge and skills that not only enhance their proficiency in analyzing imaging data but also enable them to gain a holistic perspective on prostate-related conditions. By fostering a thorough understanding of the intricacies involved in interpreting magnetic resonance images of the prostate, our intention is to empower...
Read more Background Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging is becoming more commonly employed in identifying and assessing the risk of prostate cancer. Ongoing efforts are needed to establish standardized techniques and provide proper training to radiologists for its optimal use. To meet these needs, an international expert panel, consisting of the American College of Radiology, European Society of Urogenital Radiology, and AdMeTech Foundation, collaborated to create the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System version 2 (PI-RADS v2).(1)The PIRADS is the scoring system that categorizes...
Read more Findings and procedure details Enhancing understanding of the PIRADS system to improve its interpretation and communication abilities regarding multiparametric prostate magnetic resonance findings.This presentation covers normal prostate anatomy, and the use of different sequences in multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging, and ultimately focuses on explaining the various PIRADS categories in a didactic and schematic manner, emphasizing the illustration of possible prostate lesion findings using appropriate technical language.The assignment of a PI-RADS assessment category for each lesion relies on the evaluation of T2-weighted (T2W), diffusion-weighted imaging/apparent...
Read more Conclusion This comprehensive instructional material systematically delineates the normal anatomy of the prostate and elucidates its assessment through T2, diffusion, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), and dynamic-weighted sequences. Designed to enhance the daily practice learning experience for medical residents, the schematic outlines offer a structured and accessible framework for understanding the intricacies of prostate anatomy and its evaluation using advanced imaging techniques.Incorporating a blend of didactic information and practical application, this educational resource aims to empower medical residents by providing them with...
