A UK-led international study has identified steps that can be taken to improve the quality of MRI scans for prostate cancer screening. Research, published in Radiology, found "relatively simple and ...

A nationwide survey of prostate MRI practices in the UK revealed the universal adoption of pre-biopsy MRI across all NHS trusts, with 73.1% using multiparametric MRI protocols. However, significant ...

A quicker, cheaper MRI scan was just as accurate at diagnosing prostate cancer as the current 30-40 minute scan and should be rolled out to make MRI scans more accessible to men who need one, ...

International experts have recommended quick and targeted MRI scans for prostate cancer screening. Some 21 urologists, radiologists and pathologists from Europe and the US agreed an "expert consensus ...

Researchers claim that millions of men could benefit from a quicker method of diagnosing prostate cancer with a new MRI scan. The scan takes only 15 to 20 minutes, compared to the standard 30 to 40 ...

There is both good news and bad news about prostate cancer screening. First, the bad news: the blood test involved, which measures a compound called prostate-specific antigen (PSA), is too inaccurate.

Biparametric MRI, which omits the dynamic contrast enhancement sequence, can detect clinically significant prostate cancer as well as multiparametric MRI. Biparametric MRI performs as well as ...

Prostate cancer screening can be improved by using a combination of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and a novel blood test, according to a new study. The scientists who published the new study on ...

Screening for prostate cancer is burdened by a high rate of overdiagnosis. The most appropriate algorithm for population-based screening is unknown. We invited 37,887 men who were 50 to 60 years of ...

Millions of men could benefit from a faster 15-minute prostate cancer scan that paves the way to a national screening programme. The new MRI scan takes half the time of the current one and costs half ...
