Abstract
Background and aim.
Multiparametric-magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI ) plays an
important role in diagnosis in prostate cancer The aim of this
study is to evaluate the role of MPMRI for detection of prostatic
carcinoma in patients with elevated PSA at 1.5-Tesla (1.5-T)
Methods. In this ethical board approved prospective study, 50
patients with elevated PSA above 10ng/ml were included.
Patients with a history of positive prostate biopsy and patients
treated for prostate cancer were excluded. All patients were
examined at 1.5-T MRI, with targeted transrectal
ultrasonography–guided biopsy for confirmation
Results. The overall sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive
value and negative predictive value for mp-MRI were 98.6%, 95
%, 96% and 71%, respectively.
Conclusion. Our results showed that 1.5 T mp-MRI has a high
sensitivity& also specificity for detection of prostatic carcinoma
also act as a triage system to avoid the unnecessary invasive
trasrectal biopsies
