Pharmacokinetic modeling of dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI in PI-RADS category 3 peripheral zone lesions: preliminary study evaluating DCE-MRI as an imaging biomarker for detection of clinically significant prostate cancers

CONCLUSION: Pharmacokinetic modeling of DCE-MRI parameters in PI-RADS category 3 lesions with subjectively negative DCE-MRI show significant differences comparing CS-PCa to ISUP 1 PCa and benign lesions, in this study outperforming ADC. Studies are required to further evaluate these parameters to determine which patients should undergo targeted biopsy for PI-RADS 3 lesions.
