In this micro-course, radiologists will be able to practice detection of clinically significant prostate cancer on multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) of the prostate and apply the PI-RADS V2.1 scoring system for standardized analysis of mpMRI and communication of imaging findings. In this course, learners will utilize both the framework of PI-RADS and the case library of 20 pathology proven prostate mpMRI cases that illustrate a broad spectrum of prostatic pathologies ranging from benign to malignant. Two lectures will focus on the principles and application of PI-RADS V2.1 scoring system and review of the caveats on mpMRI of the prostate. During the 2-hour pre-recorded case review session, faculty will review selected cases to discuss the imaging findings and challenges during the interpretation of mpMRI.

Course Objectives

• To practice detection of clinically significant prostate cancer on multiparametric MRI
• To apply the PI-RADS V2.1 scoring system for standardized analysis of mpMRI

Accreditation
