No significant difference in DTA was found between mpMRI and bpMRI in diagnosing prostate cancer in treatment-naïve patients. Study heterogeneity warrants cautious interpretation of the results. With replication of our findings in dedicated validation studies, bpMRI may serve as a faster, cheaper, gadolinium-free alternative to mpMRI.
