Purpose: We determined whether there is a correlation between D'Amico risk stratification and the degree of suspicion of prostate cancer on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging based on targeted biopsies done with our electromagnetically tracked magnetic resonance imaging/ultrasound fusion platform.
Materials And Methods: A total of 101 patients underwent 3 Tesla multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging of the prostate, consisting of T2, dynamic contrast enhanced, diffusion weighted and spectroscopy images in cases suspicious for or with a diagnosis of prostate cancer. All prostate magnetic resonance imaging lesions were then identified and graded by the number of positive modalities, including low-2 or fewer, moderate-3 and high-4 showing suspicion on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging.
Purpose: We determined the prognostic role, if any, of the ProstaScint (111)indium-capromab pendetide scan before salvage radiotherapy for biochemical recurrence after RP for localized prostate cancer.
Materials And Methods: We reviewed the records of 649 patients who underwent a ProstaScint scan from 1998 to 2004. A total of 44 patients were identified who had biochemical recurrence after RP and underwent a ProstaScint scan immediately before salvage radiotherapy.
A 12-year-old boy presented to the emergency department complaining that he had "magnets stuck in [his] scrotum." Examination revealed a wedge of scrotal skin with a pit on each side without visible objects. A radiograph confirmed intrascrotal foreign bodies.

Materials And Methods: We reviewed our experience regarding all children who underwent renal pelvis cuff pyeloplasty.
