    Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) is essential for prostate cancer diagnosis, necessitating high-quality interpretation and established training benchmarks.

  • 2

    Current training standards for mpMRI interpretation lack empirical benchmarks, relying on consensus-driven guidelines without defined case thresholds.

  • 3

    A study involving 14 trainees aimed to assess the effectiveness of structured training in achieving comparable mpMRI interpretation performance.

  • 4

    Participants completed 200 mpMRI cases, with metrics including PI-RADSv2.1 scores and EPE grading, to evaluate learning curves and training outcomes.

  • 5

    The study highlights the need for formal mpMRI instruction in urology residency programs, as most residents currently lack structured training.
