Currently, endorectal coil MR imaging has the ability to improve accuracy in staging of localized prostate cancer. The addition of MR spectroscopic imaging has further improved the sensitivity of MR imaging for intraprostatic tumor localization. Additional refinements and techniques are expected to further improve the performance of MR imaging for prostate cancer imaging and to aid in patient management. Further studies are required to identify the ideal role for MR imaging in the diagnosis and management of prostate cancer.
目前，直肠内线圈磁共振成像能够提高局限性前列腺癌分期的准确性。磁共振波谱成像的加入进一步提高了磁共振成像对前列腺内肿瘤定位的敏感性。预计更多的改进和技术将进一步提高磁共振成像在前列腺癌成像方面的性能，并有助于患者管理。需要进一步研究以确定磁共振成像在前列腺癌诊断和管理中的理想作用。
