Biparametric MRI, which omits dynamic contrast-enhanced sequences, similarly detected clinically significant prostate cancer to multiparametric MRI. Biparametric MRI was also noninferior to ...

In a cohort of US veterans with prostate cancer who were on active surveillance, negative multiparametric MRI had a 75% negative predictive value for ruling out disease of grade group 2 or higher at ...

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 ...
