MRI preparation depends on the type of scan, the area of your body being scanned, and whether the scan requires contrast dye. It’s important to discuss prep with your doctor beforehand. In rare, ...

There are several strategies for the early detection of prostate cancer. The first step is often a blood test for prostate-specific antigen (PSA). If PSA levels exceed a certain threshold, the next ...

It’s completely normal to feel anxious, uneasy, or uncomfortable in the moments before an MRI scan. Most people who underwent MRI examinations say they felt this way, too. But I want you to know you ...

BARCELONA, Spain — European urologic oncologists should prepare themselves for a "tsunami" of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in cases of suspected prostate cancer, investigators from the Netherlands ...

Magnetic resonance imaging assumed a greater role in detecting and depicting prostate cancer during the past several years. Men suspected of having that cancer shouldn’t be surprised if their ...

Abbreviated biparametric MRI was noninferior to full multiparametric MRI in detecting clinically significant prostate cancer in the prospective PRIME study, suggesting that it could become the new ...

A large screening trial showed that using prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD) before MRI prevented overdiagnosis and lowered resource use while preserving the detection of clinically significant ...

Biparametric MRI, which omits the dynamic contrast enhancement sequence, can detect clinically significant prostate cancer as well as multiparametric MRI. Biparametric MRI performs as well as ...

Prostate cancer may soon be treated more effectively using ultrasound at therapeutic levels, without the significant and distressing side effects of more traditional treatments. A new study presented ...

Microultrasonography for prostate biopsy detected clinically significant cancer at rates comparable to MRI-guided approaches. Detection rates for clinically insignificant cancers did not differ among ...

There are several strategies for the early detection of prostate cancer. The first step is often a blood test for prostate-specific antigen (PSA). If PSA levels exceed a certain threshold, the next ...

Biparametric MRI, which omits dynamic contrast-enhanced sequences, similarly detected clinically significant prostate cancer to multiparametric MRI. Biparametric MRI was also noninferior to ...
