State-of-the-art Prostate Imaging

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men. In addition to methods such as prostate-specific antigen test, digital rectal examination, and transrectal ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging has an important role for accurate and repro-ducible diagnosis. However, guidance in targeted biopsies and recent use in determining localization for treatment increase its im-portance. Due to technical difficulties, patient tolerance, and differences in interpretation, the prostate imaging reporting and data system recommends preparations for the patient and magnetic resonance imaging techniques. However, techniques continue to be developed to improve the diagnosis rate and image quality. In our article, patient preparation before imaging and techniques were tried to be discussed in detail. In addition, current approaches in biparametric magnetic resonance imaging and radiomics and new techniques such as T1 and T2 mapping will be mentioned.
