Where this comes from

Abstract

MRI directed prostate biopsy will change the cancer risk profiles of diagnosed patients, towards those requiring radical treatments. Increased costs can be balanced by improvements in the efficiency of the patient pathway. Effective communication of imaging findings and improved urological understanding of imaging limitations will improve the quality of care for prostate cancer patients.
