: Prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is commonly used for localized disease mainly to detect intraprostatic lesions and to guide biopsies. Despite its documented success in clinical practice, limitations still exist for prostate MRI. In this review, we discuss common clinical uses of prostate MRI, its limitations, and potential solutions for those limitations.: Current uses of prostate MRI and challenges discussed. Literature search in PubMed was completed using the keywords "prostate MRI, prostate cancer.": Prostate MRI is a useful method for localization, biopsy, and treatment guidance of prostate cancer. Certain limitations of prostate MRI such as false negatives due to spatial resolution and relatively low repeatability between different radiologists can potentially be solved by investing more on education training and artificial intelligence technology.
前列腺磁共振成像（MRI）常用于局部疾病，主要用于检测前列腺内病变并指导活检。尽管其在临床实践中已被证明是成功的，但前列腺 MRI 仍然存在局限性。在这篇综述中，我们讨论了前列腺 MRI 的常见临床应用、其局限性以及针对这些局限性的潜在解决方案。
