Imaging is playing an increasingly important role in the detection of prostate cancer (PCa). This review summarizes the key imaging modalities—multiparametric ultrasound (US), multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), MRI–US fusion imaging, and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging—used in the diagnosis and localization of PCa.

2024年11月28日 · On ultrasound, prostate cancer is usually seen as a hypoechoic lesion (60-70%) in the peripheral zone of the gland but can be hyperechoic or isoechoic (30-40% of lesions). Transrectal ultrasound is also the modality of choice for …

2023年6月9日 · Ultrasound and MRI scans are the primary imaging techniques used for initial prostate detection and diagnosis. The use of MRI has become increasingly important since it...

There has been an increasing role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the management of prostate cancer. MRI already plays an essential role in the detection and staging, with the introduction of functional MRI sequences.

If you are found to have prostate cancer, you might need imaging tests of other parts of your body to look for possible cancer spread. (Men with a normal digital rectal exam (DRE), a low blood PSA level, and a low Gleason score may not need any other tests because the chance that the cancer has spread is so low.)

2023年4月1日 · Imaging of prostate cancer covers a large spectrum from screening of asymptomatic patients to local, nodal and distant staging after histological proven diagnosis as well as imaging in biochemical recurrence and castration resistant prostate cancer.

Modern imaging techniques have substantially improved the detection/diagnostic evaluation of prostate cancer and therefore patient care in recent years. mpMRI and MR/TRUS fusion biopsy improve the initial detection and prognosis classification, and PSMA hybrid imaging improve staging in high risk patients as well as the detection of cancer ...

2022年5月27日 · In this online presentation, the clinical features and anatomic landmarks of prostate cancer are shown to review the roles of different imaging modalities in several clinical contexts, including screening, detection, staging, active surveillance, and biochemical recurrence, from conventional imaging methods that are currently the most used, to ...

2021年10月1日 · Molecular imaging techniques detect prostate cancer lesions that are occult on anatomic imaging. PET tracers target various biological processes that are overexpressed in most prostate cancers but not in normal prostate. Combination of PET with prostate or whole-body MRI improves diagnostic performance in certain clinical scenarios.

2016年6月13日 · Imaging plays an important role in the noninvasive detection, localization, grading, and staging of prostate carcinoma and in carrying out biopsies for histopathologic analysis of the tumor.
