Patients with raised PSA traditionally have transrectal
ultrasound guided biopsy (TRUS) performed prior to a
pelvic MRI for the assessment of confirmed prostate
cancer. However this approach may complicate the
interpretation of MRI and cause unnecessary delay in
patient management. In this work, the temporal changes
in MRI quantitative derived parameters following biopsy
is assessed.
