Optimizing prostate cancer detection in transition zone: an analysis of apparent diffusion coefficient values in prostate magnetic resonance imaging evaluation with Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) assessment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) is increasingly used for the early detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). However, the achievement of accurate detection rates, particularly for transition zone (TZ) lesions, remains challenging. We investigated the relationship between apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) 3-5 lesions and csPCa within the TZ.

Methods

We retrospectively evaluated TZ lesions in patients who underwent 3.0 Tesla MRI followed by MRI-targeted/transrectal ultrasound fusion biopsies (MRI-FBx). Fusion biopsies were performed for potentially cancerous lesions, defined as lesions with PI-RADS scores 3-5. We analyzed 196 lesions for which fusion biopsies were
