Overview

The standard diagnostic and staging evaluation of prostate cancer includes digital rectal examination, transrectalultrasonography (TRUS), serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level measurement, abdominal pelvic CT andradionuclide bone scan. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (especially endorectal magnetic resonance) opens newpossibilities for diagnostic imaging of the prostate. It seems to be better for detecting seminal vesicle invasion.Unfortunately, sensitivity in evaluation of minor capsular and seminal penetration is low and differentiation betweenhaemorrhage, chronic inflammatory, fibrotic changes and tumours is impossible.

Key words:
magnetic resonance imaging, prostate neoplasms.
