At the sme time, the Prostte Imging Reporting n Dt System (PI-RADS) hs stnrize imge quisition n reporting n filitte the ommunition of imging finings to the urologist n n therefore e onsiere n oligtory key element in prostte MRI. This hs h tremenous impt on the ignosti workup of ptients with suspete prostte ner, with MRI eing inorporte in multiple prostte ner guielines (e.g., NICE, AUA, Germn S3-Guieline) y now. As iret result, imging-se trgete prostte iopsy hs inrese lmost t the sme spee, n urologists not only hevily rely on urte interprettion of MRI of the prostte B. Hmm (*) P.

Furthermore, prigm shift is tking ple in the urologil ommunity regring the re of lowgre prostte ner ptients, where therpy is more n more reple y tive surveillne (AS). Prostte MRI plys n importnt role in AS not only uring the initil ssessment whether the ptient is nite for AS ut lso uring the surveillne of the isese. Therefore, ny ominl n genitourinry riologist if not lrey performing prostte MRI will susequently e involve, n we forest prostte MRI to e n inispensle ignosti step for ny ptient with linil suspiion for prostte ner or uring surveillne of low-gre prostte ner in the ner future PI-RADS The Europen Soiety of Uroriology (ESUR) hs introue PI-RADS (Prostte Imging Reporting n Dt System) in An upte version (PI-RADS v2) ws pulishe in 2015 in ollortion with the Amerin College of Riology (ACR) n the AMeTeh Fountion. PI-RADS is not se on eviene from linil reserh trils rther thn on expert knowlege; however, severl stuies hve onfirme tht the PI-RADS system improves the ignosti ury of mpmri.

Multiprmetri MRI of the prostte shoul inlue the following sequenes: T2-weighte imging: 2D turo spin-eho sequene, slie thikness 3 mm (no interslie gp), n in-plne sptil resolution 0.7 mm (phse-enoing iretion) x 0.4 mm (frequeny-enoing iretion).

The DWI sequene is the ominnt sequene for the peripherl zone where most prostte ners re lote. The T2-weighte sequene is the ominnt sequene for the trnsition zone. The ominnt sequene efines the finl PI-RADS sore with the exeption of PI-RADS 3 lesions, where for the peripherl zone the DCE sequene n for the trnsition zone the DWI sequene efines the finl PI-RADS sore (see Tles 11.5 n 11.6).

In this sitution, the following rules pply: Assessment without DWI (pplies to PZ n TZ): the T2-weighte sequenes efine the finl PI-RADS sore with the exeption of PI-RADS 3 if the lesion is DCE negtive, the finl sore remins 3; if the lesion is DCE positive, the finl sore is 4. Assessment without DCE (only pplies to the peripherl zone sine DCE is not neee for trnsition zone soring): the DWI sore represents the finl PI-RADS sore Struture Reporting A very importnt tsk of PI-RADS is to simplify n stnrize the terminology n ontent of riology reports n to enhne interisiplinry ommunitions with referring liniins.

In se of multiple lesions, n inex lesion shoul e efine. The inex lesion is the one with the highest PI-RADS sore.

If lesion is not well elinete on the xil sequenes, then nother plin shoul e use. Another ruil element of full PI-RADS report is setor mp in whih the lesions shoul e inite, sine this prtiulrly enhnes the ommunition with the urologist.
