The new guidelines will furtherly increase the requests of MRI exams, but the restricted accessibility of scanners and costs’ increase might determine an important pressure on healthcare systems. A single plane biparametric MRI (fast-MRI) could decrease exam execution time and costs, hereby augmenting test availability, considering that fast-MRI maintains a high detection rate of clinically significant PCa (CsPCa). METHODS: In this study, biopsy-naïve men with PSA <15 ng/ml and non-suspicious digital rectal examination were randomly submitted to either fast-MRI (axial T2w and DWI, arm A) or mp-MRI (arm B), in a 2:1 ratio. If the results of fast-MRI were ambiguous, men in arm A underwent mp-MRI. The reference standard was systematic core biopsy and/or fusion biopsy on MRI suspicious lesions. CsPCa was defined as Grade Group ≥3 or a maximum cancer core length involvement ≥6 mm. RESULTS: 311 men were enrolled in our study from January 2018 to March 2020: 213 underwent fast-MRI and 98 mp-MRI using a 1.5 Tesla scanner. 26 men with ambiguous fast-MRI underwent mp-MRI. CsPCa was diagnosed in 56 patients in arm A and 29 patients in arm B. Sensitivity and negative predictive values (NPV) of mp-MRI and of the fast-MRI workout were 100% (95%CI 88–100%) versus 87.5% (76-95%), (p=0.96) and 100% (94-100) versus 95% (90-97%) (p=0.97), respectively. Compared to fast-MRI both mp-MRI and PSA density with a cut-off of 0.12 ng/ml detected 9 additional CsPCa. CONCLUSIONS: In biopsy-naïve men, fast-MRI followed by mp-MRI or PSA density evaluation in case of ambiguous findings has sensitivity and NPV similar to mp-MRI. In future, fast-MRI protocols might represent a solution in order to reduce costs and exam acquisition time of mp-MRI in selected biopsy-naïve men. The proposed diagnostic workflow should be tested in a multicentre, multi-observer setting.
