Abstract

Purpose: The present study was designed to evaluate the potential efficacy of Multiparametric-Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MP-MRI) in the detection of prostate cancer locations compared to Transrectal Ultrasound (TRUS) guided biopsy, as the gold standard method. Materials and Methods: A total of 66 subjects participated in this cross-sectional study. All individuals underwent MP-MRI imaging before the prostate TRUS. The findings of either method have been investigated and the comparison had been made using the Chi-squared test. Results: The sensitivity and specificity of the MP-MRI in the diagnosis of prostate cancer were 81.8% and 93.9%, respectively. The positive and negative predictive values were 93.1% and 83.8%, respectively. Conclusion: The current study indicates that the MP-MRI imaging method has sufficient sensitivity and specificity for detecting the location of prostate cancer and can potentially be employed as a clue-providing method prior to the TRUS-guided biopsy.
