  1. MRI scans can be used to determine if prostate cancer has spread outside the prostate1. A specialised type of MRI called mpMRI (multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging) is used to help find prostate cancer2. MRI scans are highly accurate and can be used to confirm a diagnosis of prostate cancer3. MRI is the best imaging technique for estimating prostate cancer volume and for the initial detection of prostate cancer4.

    How can MRI help with prostate cancer treatment?
    MRI of the prostate can assist treatment planning in several ways. With regards to surgery, prostate cancer patients without high risk of EPE are typically offered a nerve-preserving radical prostatectomy which comes with the advantage of reducing unwanted postsurgical complications such as erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence (81).

    to see if your cancer has spread to seminal vesicles or other structures in your pelvis after a positive biopsy.
