The diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer is a controversial topic. Until recently there has not been a reliable imaging mo-dality for identification of cancer within the prostate. New evidence suggests that multiparametric magngenetic resonance im-aging (MRI) has the potential to improve the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.
This article explains the potential roles for multiparametric MRI in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.
Multiparametric MRI can help identify regions which may represent clinically significant prostate cancer. MRI may also be used to guide varying prostate cancer treatment modalities. An experienced radiologist and adequately powered MRI scanner are es-sential. Multiparametric MRI in the hands of an experienced uroradiology team is emerging as a useful tool in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer however this technology is still in its infancy and requires further evaluation. At this time prostate MRI should only be ordered by the treating urologist.
前列腺癌的诊断与治疗是一个存在争议的话题。直到最近，还没有一种可靠的成像方式用于识别前列腺内的癌症。新证据表明，多参数磁共振成像（MRI）有潜力改善前列腺癌的诊断与治疗。
本文解释多参数MRI在前列腺癌诊断与治疗中的潜在作用。
多参数MRI有助于识别可能代表具有临床意义的前列腺癌的区域。MRI也可用于指导不同的前列腺癌治疗方式。经验丰富的放射科医生和功率足够的MRI扫描仪至关重要。在经验丰富的泌尿放射学团队手中，多参数MRI正成为前列腺癌诊断与治疗中的一种有用工具，然而这项技术仍处于起步阶段，需要进一步评估。目前，前列腺MRI仅应由主治泌尿科医生开具检查单。
