Posttreatment Surveillance Using Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging

摘要: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after focal therapy has two important roles. Firstly, it can delineate necrosis and provide feedback to the operator about extent completeness of treatment. Secondly, be used detect residual or recurrent tumor both at site treatment in untreated part prostate. Its performance ablation radiotherapy approaches even exceeds its primary diagnostic setting for an equivalent volume tumor, although data utility MRI are currently very limited. It potential more accurate than prostate-specific antigen (PSA) measurement less invasive morbid repeat biopsy, as well allowing limited, targeted biopsy abnormal areas. This chapter discusses scan technique, appearances, assessment follow-up treatments.
