A dramatic shift in clinical practice has occurred over the last decade, from the radical treatment of virtually all newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients to a much more selective approach, incorporating expectant management, or active surveillance, for the roughly 40% of patients with low-risk disease. Prostate imaging became a centerpiece of prostate cancer management after switching the target of the therapy from the entire prostate to the localized cancer. Within a short period of time, a number of multi-parametric MRI (mp-MRI) examinations logarithmically increased across the academic centers and peripheral imaging centers alike. The PI-RADS committee was established and tasked to provide a standardized reporting system for the radiologists so that we can all speak the same language in our reports. There has been insufficient guidance to the technologists about how to perform these examinations. Similarly, most radiologists have been caught unprepared to the mpMRI, which requires an independent workstation to do post-processing. As of today, mpMRI of the prostate has been established in almost all of the academic centers in the USA. The primary aim for this handbook style textbook is to provide a practical guideline to the radiologists, radiology residents, and fellows who are new to prostate imaging and interpretation. It covers anatomy, pathology, imaging techniques, and interpretation standards based on PI-RADS v2.1, post-processing for targeted biopsies, molecular imaging, and ablation treatments. Technologists will find useful imaging protocols (planning and prescription) and parameters with representative images for each MRI sequence. This textbook is a collaboration of radiologists, pathologist, urologists, and radiation oncologists. I am honored and grateful to all the authors for their efforts. I hope you will find it to be useful for your practice.
