CONTEXT Local and regional recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP) can be treated using salvage radiotherapy (SRT). If the recurrence can be delineated on diagnostic imaging, this could allow for increasingly individualized SRT. OBJECTIVE This systematic review aimed at evaluating the evidence regarding the usefulness of positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (M...

Accuracy of multiparametric MRI has greatly improved the ability of localizing tumor foci of prostate cancer. This property can be used to perform a TRUS-MR image registration, new technological advance, which allows for an overlay of an MRI onto a TRUS image to target a prostate biopsy toward a suspicious area Three types of registration have been developed: cognitive-based, sensor-based, and ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the suitability of preoperative multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) positivity as a predictor of biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP). PATIENTS AND METHODS We reviewed the clinical records of patients who underwent either standard RP or laparoscopic RP between January 2005 and December 2009 at our institution. Patients who received radioth...

Abstract Background Bosniak classification improves sensitivity and specificity for malignancy among cystic renal masses characterized with MRI. The quantitative parameters derived from diffusion-weighted imaging, contrast enhancement, can be used in distinguishing between benign malignant masses. Methods This prospective observational study included 58 patients (39 male 19 female) complicated ...
