Impact of Prostate Urethral Lift Device on Prostate Magnetic Resonance Image Quality.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Prostatic urethral lift with UroLift is a minimally invasive approach to treat symptomatic benign prostatic hypertrophy. This device causes artifacts on prostate magnetic resonance images. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of artifact on prostate magnetic resonance image quality.

Materials and methods

This was a single-center retrospective review of patients with UroLift who subsequently had prostate magnetic resonance imaging. Two readers graded UroLift artifact on each pulse sequence using a 5-point scale (1-nondiagnostic; 5-no artifact). Prostate Imaging Quality scores were assigned for the whole data set. The volume of gland obscured by artifact was measured. Linear and logistic regression models were used to identify predictors of poor image quality.
