Disparities in the utilization of magnetic resonance imaging for prostate cancer detection: a population-based study
This study revealed increased MRI utilization over time, including among individuals 75 years of age and older. Racial disparities decreased, while wide urban-rural disparities remained. Targeted public health interventions should focus on geographical factors because urban or rural designations and US region were associated with the most prominent disparities. Future research should explore pathways contributing to these disparities by using a multidisciplinary approach, including geographical studies, to help eliminate health-care inequities.
