MRI of the Prostate: A Practical Approach

by Andrew Rosenkrantz (Editor)

Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men, and it is the second leading cause of cancer death in men in the USA. However, when detected early, prostate cancer can be treated successfully. In recent years, disease management for prostate cancer has undergone a shift towards a paradigm that relies on close monitoring through active surveillance, as well as advancements in treatment interventions. This has created a critical need for a more precise methodology for performing targeted biopsies, assessing risk levels, and devising treatment strategies. Prostate MRI has emerged as the most advanced imaging modality for prostate cancer diagnosis and management, making it essential for radiologists to become proficient in its use.

MRI of the Prostate: A Practical Approach is the first book to tackle the important topic of prostate MRI. It is conceived and edited by a leading authority in the field, with contributions from renowned experts. The book provides an overview of the fundamentals of prostate MRI acquisition, interpretation, and reporting, offering a wide range of insightful perspectives from years of hands-on experience.

The book covers important topics such as the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) for prostate MRI interpretation and cancer risk scoring, clinical pearls on the optimization and application of prostate MRI for risk assessment, disease staging, MRI-targeted biopsy, recurrent disease, and active surveillance, and the emerging utilization of PET and PET/MRI for primary prostate cancer evaluation. With over 700 illustrations and one entire image-based chapter featuring educational case studies, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of prostate MRI.
