Imaging Modalities used in Prostate Cancer Detection

Abstract

Prostate cancer (PCa) is reported as utmost common malignancy, causing substantial morbidity and mortality in men globally. PCa screening happens by digital rectal examination (DRE) along with usage of prostate specific antigen (PSA) examination. Rapid developments in imaging modalities in Ultrasound with multiparametric ultrasound (mpUS) and in Magnetic Resonance imaging with multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and also with nuclear imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) are adopted as well as utilized in PCa diagnosis and localizing also in staging as well as for active cancer surveillance and for monitoring cancer recurrence The paper is focused on understanding the recent imaging modalities advocated for PCa imaging.
