Discover how PI-RADS v2.1 has raised the bar for prostate cancer detection, and how the new PI-RR system helps identify recurrence after surgery or radiation. Updated imaging guidelines are making diagnosis and follow-up more reliable. keep reading

Not all prostate biopsies are the same. Traditional methods can require more needles and carry higher risks. In-bore MRI guidance offers a safer, more precise alternative—helping doctors target aggressive cancers with confidence while reducing unnecessary complications. keep reading

When it comes to prostate cancer, risk assessment has to be “just right.” New research shows that combining PSA density with MRI scoring (PI-RADS) makes predictions far more accurate, reducing unnecessary biopsies while ensuring dangerous cancers aren’t missed. keep reading

A recent study confirms that the new PI-FAB scoring system is highly reliable for evaluating MRI scans after focal therapy. With strong agreement among radiologists, PI-FAB offers patients and clinicians more confidence in long-term monitoring and peace of mind. keep reading

How times and technology change! Take, for example, the shift from a tangible book like the Yellow Pages to a digital one. At one time, paper copies of the Yellow Pages business directory were delivered to virtually every household in America. This hefty local book was the ultimate resource for finding a business or service keep reading

If you’re a real estate developer planning to build a new house, you start with the groundwork—literally. Before you start excavating, you have analysts determine the basics: the type of soil, the water table, and any flood risk. You want to know the important foundation factors that help predict the future stability of the construction. keep reading

If you’ve ever been involved in a simulation game, or a simulation training model, you are interacting with something that’s not really there but feels like it is. In fact, during the experience the same neurons in the brain are activated as if the simulation IS the real world. Thus, the brain can be functionally keep reading

Want to avoid a biopsy after an abnormal PSA test? A new study shows that a negative multiparametric MRI might just be your ticket. Learn how MRI scans are reducing unnecessary biopsies and pinpointing significant prostate cancer with precision. keep reading

A new consensus on MRI follow-up after focal therapy for prostate cancer offers fresh guidelines for detecting recurrence. Learn how these recommendations can enhance patient outcomes and standardize MRI protocols. keep reading

Based on the standard five-letter grading system (A, B, C, D, F), getting your report card may or may not have been a time of dread. However, that system did not raise every kid’s anxiety until its universal adoption by U.S. schools in the 1940s. Were you ever curious as to why the letter E keep reading
