- Abstract
The article reviews articles on prostrate cancer imaging in Germany as of October 2021. Topics discussed include the prevalence of prostrate cancer among males, and trial results which show that detection is improved with multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MR/transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) fusion biopsy, with dependence of detection rate on the prostrate-specific antigen (PSA) concentration. Also noted is the recommended use of mpMRI and MR/TRUS fusion biopsy for imaging.
