Abstract

While staging information with prostate magnetic resonance imaging was accurate early in the implementation of the program, lesion characterization improved with use of Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System, version 2 criteria and standardized reporting. Regular multidisciplinary participation in community based prostate magnetic resonance imaging programs may maximize clinical impact.
