Indeed, the Mp-MRI prostate protocol, as described in PIRADS v2.1, includes axial T2-weighted sequences and a minimum of one additional orthogonal plane, T1 images, axial diffusion-weighted and DCE-MRI, with a wide field of view from renal hilum to the pubic symphysis, that can highlight unexpected pathologies. In addition to the prostate gland, mp-MRI could identify incidental findings in the field of view, which may be indolent or have a significant impact on the patient’s management.
Given the potential clinical implications, these incidental findings need to be correctly identified and characterized, preventing any form of diagnostic errors. Incidental findings can be distinguished into genitourinary and non-genitourinary, with high or low to moderate...
