Abstract
Background: Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) is currently the most accurate imaging modality for detection and local staging of prostate cancer (PCa). Disadvantages of this modality are high costs, time consumption and the need for a contrast medium.Aims: The aim of the work was to provide an overview of the current state of fast and contrast-free MRI imaging of the prostate.Results: Biparametric examination protocols and the use of three-dimensional T2-weighted sequences are readily available methods that can be used to shorten the examination time without sacrificing diagnostic accuracy.
