Overview

Advanced prostate imaging is performed through magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, which uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of the prostate. Appropriate treatment recommendations for prostate cancer are based on knowing the accurate staging of the tumor.

During a non-invasive examination, specialists perform multiple advanced imaging techniques, which when evaluated together has a high degree of accuracy to detect and locate prostate cancer. In fact, based on published studies and our experience, the combination of advanced-imaging techniques has an accuracy up to 90% in the diagnosis of prostate cancer.American College of Radiology designated prostate cancer seal
