Multiparametric Prostate

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men after lung cancer. It can present in various forms and progress at different rates.

Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (mpMRI) of the Prostate has become a highly valuable method for the accurate diagnosis of different forms of prostate cancer and the effective management of patients. This technique precisely detects the tumor and plays a crucial role in treatment planning. In many cases, it can help avoid the need for a biopsy. However, when a biopsy is necessary, the prior MRI helps target a specific area rather than taking random samples from the entire gland, making the process safer and more effective.

This is a painless procedure performed using state-of-the-art MRI scanners. The patient lies in a supine position, and the scan lasts approximately 25–30 minutes, focusing exclusively on the prostate gland. The method combines advanced functional MRI techniques with high-resolution anatomical imaging, providing both structural and functional information about the gland.
