Abstract

Multiparametric MR imaging of the prostate is an essential diagnostic study in the evaluation of prostate cancer. Several entities including normal anatomic structures, benign lesions, and posttreatment changes can mimic prostate cancer. An in depth understanding of the pitfalls is important for accurate interpretation of prostate MR imaging.
