across readers was 93% for EPE using the 3-point score versus 77% using the Likert scale. They concluded that a Likert scale was potentially more difcult to teach, convey, and report on than a 3-point system with stringently dened criteria and outcome measures [72].
Some have suggested that incorporating stan­dardised EPE reporting into PI-RADS would be helpful and further improve the uniformity of mpMRI interpretations [43, 71]. Yet, one surpris­ing aspect of the aforementioned studies was how poor mpMRI is at predicting EPE [22, 23, 72,
73]. Even in the case of gross visible extension,
only a limited number of cases demonstrated EPE pathologically. False-positive EPE ndings may be due to inammation, desmoplastic reac­tion, and trauma-related changes from biopsy that can lead to irregularities in the apparent mar­gin of the tumour, [71] while false negatives may also occur since EPE is commonly microscopic and thus, below the detection threshold of mpMRI [74]. However, a recent paper by Ponsiglione et al. demonstrated that assessing image quality using a dedicated scoring system and only attempting to interpret adequate quality scans can greatly improve the accuracy of both these proposed EPE scoring systems [73].
Additionally, metastatic disease carries a much worse prognosis and different treatment options compared to organ-conned or locally advanced PCa. Therefore, an international expert panel created the METastasis Reporting and Data
System for Prostate Cancer guidelines in 2016. These recommendations help to promote stan­dardisation for whole-body MRI scans in advanced PCa and to provide comprehensive tumour characterisation both before treatment and over time [75].
Standards forImage Quality
In 2020, a joint ESUR and EAU Section of Urological Imaging (ESUI) consensus meeting stressed the importance of prostate MRI image quality [76]. Challenges around image quality can be broadly subdivided into issues of quality assurance (i.e. measures introduced to ensure MRI scans are optimal quality) and quality con­trol (i.e. radiologists assessing scan quality) [77,
78]. The growing interest in prostate MRI has led
to signicant heterogeneity in imaging protocols and a variety of scanners and settings worldwide [79, 80]. This has rendered quality assurance dif­cult and consequently led to a large focus on improving quality control, although experts stress the need for both initiatives [13, 76].
The Prostate Imaging Quality (PI-QUAL) score was proposed in 2020 as the rst stan­dardised scoring system to evaluate the quality of prostate MRI [26]. As shown in Table 14.4, PI-QUAL provides an overall score that ranges from 1-to-5 by combining the PI-RADS technical recommendations with a set of more subjective

criteria, which assess the reporter’s ability to visu­alise specic anatomical landmarks and assess the presence of artefacts across all sequences. After conceiving the scoring system, Giganti etal. ret­rospectively applied PI-QUAL scores to MRIs obtained in the PRECISION trial, a multicentre randomised controlled trial that demonstrated mpMRI-targeted biopsy was superior to standard TRUS-guided biopsy for the detection of PCa [5]. Fifty-eight out of 252 (23%) mpMRI scans, cho­sen at random from each of the 22 centres in this trial, were evaluated by two experienced radiolo­gists, in consensus, blinded to pathology results. Overall, mpMRI quality was of sufcient diag­nostic quality (PI-QUAL3) for 55 scans (95%) and of good or optimal diagnostic quality (PI-QUAL4) for 35 scans (60%). Fifty-ve out of 58 (95%) scans were of diagnostic quality for T2-WI, followed by DWI (46/58 scans; 79%) and DCE (38/58 scans; 66%) [26].
The use of the PI-QUAL score to assess image quality can help to improve lesion detec­tion, and it has now been incorporated into sev­eral studies [8190]. Brembilla etal. found that for PI-RADS 3 scans, those of suboptimal qual­ity (PI-QUAL3), were more likely to undergo a biopsy and less likely to harbour csPCa [81]. This is in line with a study by Karanasios etal. that found for both negative (PI-RADS 1 and 2) and indeterminate (PI-RADS 3) scans, those of suboptimal quality were more likely to proceed to biopsy and had a reduced ability to rule in or rule out csPCa [82]. Others have assessed PI-QUAL’s reproducibility, and results for agree­ment, as assessed by Cohen’s kappa (κ), have ranged from slight [83], to moderate [8487], to substantial [88, 89], and even excellent [90]. Additionally, PI-QUAL can be used to improve image quality and a recent multicentre study using prostate MRIs from 71 scanners across 42 centres globally demonstrated that basic evalua­tion and modications to MRI protocols using PI-QUAL led to substantial improvements in image quality [91].
As with all scoring systems, limitations with PI-QUAL have been reported [78, 92]. Currently, PI-QUAL cannot be applied to bpMRI, despite the growing number of centres that are using this
approach [93]. Although PI-QUAL considers all sequences, for staging purposes, T2-WI is the main sequence utilised for the detection of EPE [73], and therefore, adequate image quality may only be needed for this sequence, or it has been pointed out that a scan with suboptimal image quality could still be acceptable for detection in cases of large PI-RADS 5 lesions [92]. Future iterations of PI-QUAL are expected to address its application for bpMRI and may also consider adopting a simplied scale that groups scores (i.e. PI-QUAL 1–2 vs. PI-QUAL 3 vs. PI-QUAL 4–5) since this has already shown promising results [87, 90].

Reporting Cancer Recurrence

Both RP and RT are denitive treatments for localised PCa. They offer long-term tumour con­trol for most, yet for some patients, residual or recurrent local disease can occur [94]. Previously, the diagnosis of local relapse was largely based on PSA levels or kinetics and BCR was observed in about 50% of high-risk patients and about 10% of low-risk patients within 15years following RP [95]. For RT, BCR ranges from 15% for low-risk patients to 67% for high-risk patients during 5years of follow-up [94]. However, now there is robust evidence that mpMRI can detect and local­ise recurrence in patients after receiving initial PCa treatment [96, 97]. Indeed, guidelines in the United States now recommend the use of mpMRI to assess for local recurrence in patients with BCR after RP [98, 99].
In 2021, an international expert panel pub­lished the consensus-based Prostate Imaging for Recurrence Reporting (PI-RR) guidelines for MRI assessment to detect PCa local recurrence after RP and RT. [24] This includes a 5-point overall suspicion score with separate scales for assessing DWI and DCE imaging after RT and RP (see Fig. 14.1 and Table14.5). PI-RR also includes technical recommendations like those recommended in PI-RADS v2.1 [18, 100]. However, PI-RR adds specic considerations for local recurrence. For example, PI-RR indicates that after RP, T2-WI should be performed in all

Moreover, for PI-RR, the eld of view (FOV) must encompasses the most common sites of recurrence, including the seminal vesicle or retrovesical bed, vesicoure­thral anastomosis, and bladder neck [24, 101]. In addition, PI-RR calls for performing at least one large-FOV sequence (T1-WI or DWI) to assess
sequence in determining the overall score, and a DWI score4 can upgrade an overall score from 2 to 3 or 3 to
4. T2-WI is also assessed with a 5-point scale, although this sequence is used primarily for assessing anatomic landmarks and does not inuence the overall PI-RR score. DCE dynamic contrast-enhanced, DWI diffusion­weighted imaging, PI-RR prostate imaging for recurrence reporting

Initial studies on PI-RR have shown promising results concerning to the reproducibility and diag­nostic performance of the system [102, 103]. Pecoraro etal. found excellent reproducibility of the PI-RR overall score (intraclass correlation coefcient = 0.87) and moderate-to-high accu­racy (area under the curve range = 0.77–0.92) [102].

After assessing each sequence, individual sequence scores can be put together to determine an overall PI-RR score (Fig.14.1). PI-RR incorporates the relation between a lesion and the primary tumour location on pre-treatment imaging as a key determinant of assigned scores. Additionally, unlike PI-RADS v2.1, PI-RR introduces a 5-point scale for assessing DCE imaging based on the distribution (diffuse or heterogeneous vs. focal or mass-like) and timing (early vs. delayed) of prostatic enhancement ADC apparent diffusion coefcient, DCE dynamic contrast- enhanced, DWI diffusion-weighted imaging, MRI magnetic resonance imaging, PI-RADS prostate imaging reporting and data system, PI-RR prostate imaging for recurrence report­ing, T2-WI T2-weighted imaging

score of 3 or greater after either RT or PR was high, although all readers were highly experi­enced, limiting the generalisability of the results. Moreover, Ciccarese et al. found excellent interobserver agreement (κ = 0.884, p < 0.001) between two radiologists with 5 and 10years of prostate MRI experience [103]. In their study on
patients post-RP, a PI-RR score of 3 or greater had high sensitivity (85%) and PPV (73%) for recur­rence but low specicity (33%) [103]. Multicentre prospective studies that include radiologists with varying levels of experience and expertise are required for further validation and to guide clini­cal adoption of PI-RR moving forward [104].

MRI After Focal Therapy

Several FT consensus meetings have stressed the robust evidence that exists to support the use of mpMRI in this setting [105115]. MRI not only has a role to play in FT planning and targeted biopsies but also in patient follow-up since PSA levels are unreliable in monitoring for local recurrence given the variable reduc­tion in prostate volume during treatment [116,
117], and recurrence rates following FT are as
high as 40% within 2years [118]. Paxton etal. demonstrated the high sensitivity of mpMRI for the detection of late recurrence [119]. In their study with a mean follow-up of 49 months, biopsy revealed recurrent disease in 83% of patients with restricted diffusion and 63% of those with hyperenhancement at the treatment
site. Moreover, the combination of restricted diffusion and early enhancement had PPV of 100%.
Although PI-RR deals with local recurrence after RP and RT, no standardised scoring system had been designed for MRI assessment following FT until the Prostate Imaging after Focal Ablation (PI-FAB) score was proposed in 2023 [25]. As shown in Fig. 14.2, PI-FAB involves a 3-point scale for rating MRI sequences in sequential order: (1) DCE sequences; (2) DWI, split into the assessment of the high-b-value sequence rst and then the apparent diffusion coefcient map; and (3) T2-WI. A comparison with pre-treatment DCE sequences is recommended, and key infor­mation such as the date of treatment, ablation modality, tumour burden (including pre- treatment Gleason score, maximum cancer core length, and
Fig. 14.2 PI-FAB scoring system for assessing the likeli­hood of local recurrence of prostate cancer after focal therapy. Low signal intensity on T2-WI and high-b-value sequence and no enhancement at the site of the original tumour, receives a score of PI-FAB 1, which means it is likely to represent brosis. High signal intensity on the high-b-value sequence, focal enhancement (any size), and low signal intensity on T2-WI and the ADC map equals a PI-FAB score of 3 and indicates that there is a high suspi­cion for residual or recurrent disease. Whereas focal enhancement alone (low signal intensity on T2-WI, low signal intensity on the high-b-value sequence) can be

Conclusion

Over the past decades, remarkable advancements in MRI for PCa have been made, and the indica­tions for mpMRI have expanded greatly. The number of consensus meetings and guidelines on prostate MRI has also increased reecting the growing interest in this area. Recommendations
on standardisation, structured reporting, and scoring systems have been designed to reduce variability in the acquisition, interpretation, and reporting of scans. Select consensus meetings and scoring systems that have been discussed in this chapter are shown in Fig. 14.3 and sum­marised in Table14.6. Some of these recommen­dations are intended for routine clinical practice, others have been created to facilitate better data collection for research, and many serve both these purposes. Some of the newer proposed scoring systems will require further validation, while almost all recommendations will develop as more data are collected and scoring systems will be rened with additional clinical experience.
