Prostate zonal anatomy is best demonstrated with MRI. On T2-weighted sequences, the normal prostate can be divided into the peripheral zone, which shows high signal intensity owing to its high water ...

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 ...

Australian scientists say it could also help reduce the risk of overdiagnosis by determining which cancers are low-risk and will never cause harm.

Millions of men could benefit from a new, faster prostate cancer scan. The quicker, cheaper MRI scan was just as accurate at diagnosing prostate cancer in clinical trials as the current 30- to ...

A quicker, cheaper MRI scan was just as accurate at diagnosing prostate cancer as the current 30-40 minute scan and should be rolled out to make MRI scans more accessible to men who need one, ...

The study protocol was approved by the institutional review board of Hokkaido University Hospital, and patient consent was not deemed necessary because data were obtained from medical charts and ...

A scan that makes prostate cancer cells “glow” could halve the number of men needing invasive biopsies, research suggests.

As a result, researchers have explored less invasive options that aim to treat the cancer while preserving quality of life. One such approach is TULSA, which uses real-time MRI guidance to deliver ...

But does it cost too much?
