AI Article Synopsis
- MRI plays a crucial role in prostate cancer management, aiding in early detection, treatment planning, and follow-up by providing anatomical and functional information.
- The review discusses conventional and advanced MRI techniques, particularly multiparametric MRI, which offers insights into the normal prostate and its correlation with cancer.
- It also covers prostate cancer epidemiology, clinical anatomy, ultrasound performance in diagnosis, and concludes with a brief overview of external-beam radiotherapy planning.
Article Abstract
The application of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) have helped in different modalities for prostate cancer management, from early detection to treatment planning and follow-up, the evolution of MRI techniques allows to obtain not only anatomical but also functional information to take advantage of prostate cancer detection and staging while supplying prognostic and predictive biomarkers. This review presents conventional and advanced MRI techniques (known as multiparametric MRI) that allow functional and quantitative assessment of the normal prostate gland and its correlation with prostate cancer. Additional topics include the epidemiology of prostate cancer following the Global Burden Diseases Cancer Collaboration 2018, the clinical anatomy of the prostate gland, and the lower urinary tract; we also mention some aspects of the diagnosis performance in ultrasound. We end the review with a brief explanation about the anatomical foundation of external-beam planning radiotherapy.
