MR imaging of prostate cancer.
MR imaging technology is continually evolving and improving. Endorectal MR imaging provides excellent anatomic detail and is the most accurate imaging modality for staging prostate cancer with the ability to affect therapy and cure in many men. Failure to detect microscopic disease and microscopic capsular invasion remain significant weaknesses. MR spectroscopy has great potential for improving the sensitivity and specificity of MR imaging and expanding its diagnostic and staging usefulness.
