Objectives: Prostate cancer is among the most prevalent cancers between elder men. Accurate and reliable diagnosis and staging are crucial factors in planning the treatment. A number of indicators have been developed in order to help with better diagnosis of prostate cancers ranging from trans-rectal ultrasonography, assessing the PSA antigen, magnetic resonance imaging, MRI guided or Ultrasonography guided biopsy. Multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging is a new trend in diagnosis and differentiating of prostatic lesions. It uses the cutting edge technology to make reliable and optimized diagnosis about focal lesions of prostate. Current study aims to compare the efficacy of mp-MRI compared with TRUS biopsy results with focus on diffusion weighted imaging.
Methods: 42 patients were examined between 2017 and 2018 prior to doing TRUS biop.. View More»
