title: [Imaging in prostate cancer].
abstract: The management of prostate cancer has dramatically changed due to the progresses made in imaging, especially in MRI. MRI in indicated in the initial workup of a patient with a biopsy proven prostate carcinoma eligible to a curative treatment. Detection MRI is used in patients with increased PSA levels and negative biopsies for targeting a new series of biopsies. Lastly, MRI combined with PET allows one to schedule a salvation treatment in patients with a biological relapse of prostate cancer after treatment and a local recurrence.
