    Prostate cancer is the most common non-cutaneous cancer in men, with a lifetime risk of up to 37%.

  • 2

    Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) is the standard imaging modality for prostate cancer detection, utilizing PI-RADS for interpretation.

  • 3

    Biparametric MRI (bpMRI) offers advantages such as reduced costs and shorter acquisition times, potentially matching mpMRI's effectiveness.

  • 4

    The study aimed to compare the detection rates of clinically significant prostate cancer between bpMRI and mpMRI in biopsy-naïve men.

  • 5

    Histology from robot-assisted transperineal fusion biopsy served as the reference standard for evaluating the performance of both MRI techniques.
