• Compared to the use of individual sequences, multi-parametric MRI obtained the best performance in distinguishing recurrent tumor from benign voxels. • Delineations based on mp-MRI miss smaller foci and slightly underestimate tumor volume of local recurrent prostate cancer. • Focal salvage strategies should include appropriate margins around the visible tumor.
