On-table monitoring of prostate MRI could enable tailored utilisation of gadolinium contrast.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To compare the impact of on-table monitoring vs standard-of-care multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) for the utilisation of gadolinium contrast use in prostate MRI.

Materials and methods

This retrospective observation study of prospectively acquired data was conducted at a single institution over an 18-month period. A cohort of patients undergoing MRI for suspected prostate cancer (PCa) underwent on-table monitoring where their T2 and DWI images were reviewed by a supervising radiologist during the scan to decide whether to acquire dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) sequences. MRI scans were reported using PI-RADS v2.1, patients were followed up with biopsy for at least 12 months. The rate of gadolinium administration, biopsy rates, and diagnostic accuracy were compared to t
