Abstract
The role of multiparametric MRI in diagnosis, staging and treatment planning for prostate cancer is well established. However there remain several challenges to widespread adoption. One such challenge is the duration and cost the examination. Abbreviated exams omitting contrast enhanced sequences may help address this challenge. In this review, we will discuss the rationale for biparametric MRI (bpMRI) for detection and characterization of clinically significant prostate cancer prior to biopsy and synthesize the published literature. We will weigh up the advantages and disadvantages to this approach and lay out a conceptual cost/benefit analysis regarding adoption of bpMRI.
