Abstract

In response to rapidly increasing MRI utilization for prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis and management, concerns about quality of prostate MRI scans and interpretation, lack of stakeholder consensus, and inconsistent guidelines and insurance coverage, the ACR convened the Stakeholder Prostate Summit on September 6, 2019. The aims were to (1) identify obstacles to adoption, (2) explore the role of nuclear medicine in prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis, (3) assess ACR PCa initiatives, (4) build consensus about the role of MRI in PCa diagnosis in biopsy-naïve men and those managed with active surveillance, and (5) make recommendations to the radiology community and ACR leadership to support efforts to improve quality and access to prostate MRI.
