According to Dr. Robert Princenthal, Medical Director for RadNet’s Prostate MRI Program, this study is part of the growing evidence to support what he calls the “man-o-gram,” or as he explains, “prostate MRI plus PSA screening (a blood test not offered at our locations, but available at a local lab through your referring physician), in order to optimize early detection.”
A new study shows that performing MRI scans before biopsy on men with high PSA scores could reduce prostate cancer death rates by almost 20%. A negative MRI can reduce unnecessary biopsies by 25%.
