Abstract
High-quality prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is required for accurate prostate cancer detection, localization, and staging. Variability in image quality exists in practice, influenced by inconsistent adherence to technical standards, lack of patient preparation, variability in scanner performance, patient characteristics, and knowledge gaps in personnel scheduling and performing prostate MRI exams. The Prostate Imaging Quality (PI-QUAL) scoring system is a well-established tool for assessing the diagnostic quality of prostate MRI. An updated PI-QUAL version 2 was published in 2024 by a group of experts to address the limitations of the original system. This pictorial review highlights the key changes introduced in PI-QUAL version 2 and provides illustrative examples of each assessment category.
期刊介绍：
Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI is directed to all physicians involved in the performance and interpretation of ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging procedures. It is a timely source for the publication of new concepts and research findings directly applicable to day-to-day clinical practice. The articles describe the performance of various procedures together with the authors'' approach to problems of interpretation.
