Enhancing prostate MRI expertise: educational strategies for radiologists.
Jesse W SpinnerAndrei S PuryskoAntonio Carlos WestphalenPublished in: Abdominal radiology (New York) (2024)
The adoption of multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) and the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System has significantly changed prostate cancer diagnosis and management. These advancements, alongside novel biomarkers and updated International Society of Uropathology grade groups, have improved cancer detection and prognostication. Despite this progress, varying levels of expertise in mpMRI among radiologists have resulted in inconsistent assessments, potentially leading to unnecessary procedures and diminished confidence in the modality. This review assesses the educational landscape for prostate MRI, highlighting available resources for radiologists at all professional stages. It emphasizes the need for targeted educational strategies to bridge knowledge gaps and improve patient care outcomes in prostate cancer management.
