PI-RADS Upgrading Rules
May 22, 2024
Broadcasted Live and Online 12:00 noon–1:00 pm, Eastern Time
Moderator: Nicola Schieda, MD
Speakers: Leonardo Kayat Bittencourt, MD, PhD
PI-RADS incorporate rules by which ancillary sequence findings upgrade a dominant score to a higher final category. Evidence on the upgrading rules' impact on diagnostic pathways remains scarce. Disregarding PI-RADS upgrading rules reduced net clinical benefit of the risk-based MRI-directed diagnostic pathway when considering tradeoffs between csPCa detection and biopsy avoidance. This study supports the application of PI-RADS upgrading rules to optimize biopsy selection, particularly in risk-based pathways.
Join Leonardo Kayat Bittencourt, MD, PhD for a discussion of this AJR article, which reviews the PI-RADS upgrading rules for Category 3 PI-RADS lesions and evaluates the clinical net benefit of the PI-RADS upgrading rules in MRI-directed diagnostic pathways.
