Multi-Parametric MRI of the Prostate: Image Quality and Diagnostic Accuracy
Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (mpMRI) has transformed the landscape of prostate cancer diagnosis and management. This workshop will explore the essential components of mpMRI, emphasizing image quality optimization, diagnostic accuracy, and clinical implications.
Participants will gain insights into various pulse sequences, including T2-weighted, Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI), and Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI), and their roles in characterizing prostate lesions. The workshop will also address factors influencing image quality and delve into the Prostate Imaging Quality (PI-QUAL) score and the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PIRADS).
A significant portion of the workshop will focus on the integration of artificial intelligence in mpMRI, highlighting its potential to enhance diagnostic precision and workflow efficiency. Finally, we will discuss the integration of mpMRI into clinical pathways, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of its application in routine practice.
