Focus on the quality of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by radiologists is welcome, but the clinical impacts that arise from MRI scans still need urological expertise. The urologist perspective is required in a multidisciplinary team setting when making decisions on whether to repeat a scan or perform a biopsy. This can ensure effective use of the prostate MRI diagnostic pathway in delivering desired clinical benefits for patients.
