• The European Society of Urogenital Radiology recently published guidelines for prostate MRI. • We have evaluated inter-reader agreement of ESUR scoring for multiparametric prostate MRI. • PI-RADS shows good to moderate inter-reader agreement and is clinically applicable. • PI-RADS achieves in our series high sensitivity and negative predictive value for biopsied lesions. • PI-RADS can be used as standardised scoring system in prostate cancer detection.

• T2WI + DWI + DCE achieved the highest accuracy in patients with higher grade PCa • T2WI + DWI + DCE was more accurate for peripheral- than for transitional-zone PCa • DCE increased PCa detection accuracy in the peripheral zone • DWI was the leading sequence in the transitional zone.

The PI-RADS scoring system showed good diagnostic accuracy: Only PI-RADS 4 and 5 showed high-grade PCa. However, it seems necessary to revise the PI-RADS scoring system concerning DCE in the transitional zone.

Magnetic resonance imaging guided in-bore and systematic transrectal ultrasound guided biopsies achieved equally high detection rates in biopsy naïve patients with increased prostate specific antigen. Magnetic resonance imaging guided in-bore biopsies required significantly fewer cores and revealed a significantly higher percent of cancer involvement per biopsy core.

MpMRI and targeted MR-GB are useful tools to better characterize and stage the extent of disease, and therefore enable the urologist to better risk-stratify and counsel the patient. The combined use of targeted MR-GB and TRUS-GB presents the least risk of Gleason underestimation.
