Quality Improvement Summit

2024 Quality Improvement Summit: Advancing Diagnostic Excellence in Prostate Cancer— Improving Prostate MR Image Quality

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be a valuable tool to help risk-stratify who should undergo a prostate biopsy while averting biopsy in others. In addition, prostate MRI can improve detection of prostate cancer requiring treatment while reducing detection of low-risk prostate cancer (overdiagnosis). This requires a reliable, high-quality MRI.

On October 26, 2024, the AUA hosted an expert convening on Advancing Diagnostic Excellence in Prostate Cancer – Prostate MR Image Quality. Chaired by Dr. Matthew Nielsen, Chair of AUA’s Science and Quality Council, the meeting brought together members of the AUA and the American College of Radiology (ACR) to collaborate toward achieving diagnostic excellence in prostate cancer.

This toolkit is designed to equip urologists with the tools needed to collaborate with radiologists to enhance prostate MR image quality, ultimately improving the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer.

Join Dr. Matt Nielsen, Chair of AUA’s Science and Quality Council and Chair of the Department of Urology at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill as he speaks with Dr. Andrei Purysko, Section Head of Abdominal Imaging at the Cleveland Clinic and Physician Leader of the American College of Radiology’s Prostate MR Image Quality Improvement Collaborative, on improving the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer with the use of high-quality prostate MR images.
