Use of MRI before prostate biopsies increases sharply across U.S. hospitals

Using prostate MRI before a biopsy is a real advance in prostate cancer diagnosis. Multiple randomized trials have shown that imaging the prostate first and then targeting suspicious lesions finds more of the aggressive cancers that matter. As a result, guidelines have progressively strengthened their recommendations for MRI.

MRI Before Prostate Biopsy Surges Nationwide as New Evidence Reshapes Care

One of the most consequential shifts in modern prostate cancer diagnosis has now been documented at national scale: the overwhelming majority of American men undergoing a prostate biopsy are having an MRI scan of the gland first, a practice that was a rarity less than a decade ago. A new study led by researchers at […]

AI-Enabled Care Pathway: Shifting the Paradigm in Prostate Cancer Diagnosis

As clinical guidelines increasingly recommend MRI before biopsy, prostate MRI has become a critical decision point in the diagnostic pathway. However, many imaging departments continue to face challenges such as long acquisition times, motion-sensitive exams, and labor-intensive post-processing.
