Prostate cancer: top places where tumors hide on multiparametric MRI.

Abstract

Prostate tumors occasionally have unusual manifestations on multiparametric MR images that can present a diagnostic dilemma and result in a false-negative interpretation. This article presents examples of such "hiding places" of prostate tumors, four in the peripheral zone and four in the central gland. The provided pointers in multiparametric MRI assessment can aid the radiologist in achieving an accurate diagnosis of tumor in the eight scenarios described.
