Is It PRIME Time for Biparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Prostate Cancer Diagnosis?

The PRIME (PRostate Imaging using Mri +/− contrast Enhancement) study is evaluating whether quicker, cheaper, and less invasive biparametric magnetic resonance imaging (bpMRI) is noninferior to multiparametric MRI in diagnosing clinically significant prostate cancer (PCa). If the study results confirm that bpMRI is not inferior, it could become the new standard of care for PCa diagnosis and streamline the diagnosis pathway so that all men who need MRI have access to this diagnostic tool.
