Cutting the length of MRI scans for prostate cancer by a third would make them cheaper and more accessible without hindering accuracy, a trial has found
The final step involves the patient being injected with contrast dye, which helps to enhance the images from the scan. For each patient, radiologists assessed a two-step scan without the dye and the three-step scan separately. Radiologist Dr Francesco Giganti, of UCL Surgery & Interventional Science and UCLH, said the three-part multiparametric MRI scan “has been a game-changer” for prostate cancer diagnosis and has spared thousands of men from “unnecessary biopsies”.
“This will allow more men to benefit from a better, more accurate diagnosis at a lower cost to healthcare systems not only in the UK, but worldwide. The Cap trial involved more than 400,000 patients between the ages of 50 and 69, almost half of whom were invited for a PSA test as part of the study.
