In this prospective observational study, we observed a significant level of discordance between multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging of the prostate reports in peripheral and subspecialized centers. If confirmed by further prospective randomized trials, multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging second opinion by expert radiologists could become a useful tool to deliver the best management for patients, avoiding 52% of targeted and 33.5% of total biopsies.

Abstract

In this prospective observational study, we observed a significant level of discordance between multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging of the prostate reports in peripheral and subspecialized centers. If confirmed by further prospective randomized trials, multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging second opinion by expert radiologists could become a useful tool to deliver the best management for patients, avoiding 52% of targeted and 33.5% of total biopsies.
