Prostate MR Case Review 2024

Prostate MR Case Review 2024

Prostate MR Case Review 2024 This course will address the increased demand for prostate MRI, as prostate cancer diagnosis continues to rise in North American men. Multi-parametric sequences utilizing T2-weighted imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE) have led to increased utilization of prostate MRI for detection, localization, staging, risk stratification, active surveillance, recurrence assessment, and guidance for targeted-biopsy and focal therapy.

Radiologists will gain up-to-date information on the latest standards for prostate examination and mpMRI.
