    Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) is essential for diagnosing clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) and predicting extracapsular extension (ECE).

  • 2

    The Prostate Imaging – Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) has evolved to improve the accuracy of mpMRI in clinical practice for prostate cancer assessment.

  • 3

    A new scoring system by ESUR focuses on capsular alterations detectable at MRI to assess the likelihood of ECE, which is crucial for treatment planning.

  • 4

    This study analyzed 126 patients who underwent mpMRI before radical prostatectomy to identify clinical and radiological parameters associated with ECE.

  • 5

    Inter-observer variability was evaluated among radiologists using LIKERT and ECE-LIKERT scores, alongside PI-RADS and ESUR-ECE, to predict ECE risk.
