Key Points
Question
What are the diagnostic accuracy and negative predictive value of novel biparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in biopsy-naive men in detecting and ruling out significant prostate cancer?
Findings
In this cohort study of 1020 men who underwent both biparametric targeted and standard transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsies, low-suspicion biparametric MRI had a high negative predictive value (97%) in ruling out significant prostate cancer on confirmatory biopsies.
Meaning
The biparametric MRI used as a triage test in this study was associated with improved prostate cancer risk stratification and may be used to exclude aggressive disease and avoid unnecessary biopsies in 30% of men with clinical suspicion of prostate cancer, although further studies are needed to fully explore this new diagnostic approach.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
