Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of prostate cancer (PCa) of two PI-RADS version (v) 2.1 transition zone (TZ) features (PI-RADS 1 ['nodule in nodule'] and 2 ['homogeneous mildly hypointense area between nodules']).
Methods: With an institutional review board approval, from a 5-year cohort between 2012 and 2017, we retrospectively identified 53 consecutive men with radical prostatectomy (RP) confirmed TZ tumors and MRI.
Introduction: We aimed to determine if clinical and imaging features can stratify men at higher risk for clinically significant (CS, International Society of Urological Pathology [ISUP] grade group ≥2) prostate cancer (PCa) in equivocal Prostate Imaging and Data Reporting System (PI-RADS) category 3 lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Methods: Approved by the institutional review board, this retrospective study involved 184 men with 198 lesions who underwent 3T-MRI and MRI-directed transrectal ultrasound biopsy for PI-RADS 3 lesions. Men were evaluated including clinical stage, prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD), indication, and MRI lesion size.
In PI-RADS version 2.1 (v2.1), atypical transition zone (TZ) nodules (homogeneous circumscribed nodules without full encapsulation) assigned category 2 can be upgraded to category 3 when showing markedly restricted diffusion.

Objective: Our purpose was to evaluate the sensitivity of multidetector CT for the detection of peritoneal metastases between standard 2.5 mm axial imaging and maximum-intensity-projection (MIP) reconstructions.
Materials And Methods: The Institutional Review Board approved this retrospective study and waived the need to obtain patient consent.
