Description

Prostate MRI is followed from pre-biopsy diagnosis and lesion localisation to standardised PI-RADS reporting in the peripheral and transition zones. Local staging, lymph nodes, whole-body MRI, treatment planning, follow-up, and active surveillance extend the pathway.

Learning Objectives

  • Apply prostate MRI and PI-RADS principles before biopsy and for lesion localisation.
  • Assess peripheral- and transition-zone lesions and stage local prostate cancer.
  • Explain the roles of MRI in nodal assessment, advanced disease, follow-up, and active surveillance.
  • Integrate MRI findings into biopsy targeting, treatment planning, and longitudinal surveillance.
