The role of T1 hyperintensity in differentiating granulomatous prostatitis from prostate cancer: a retrospective analysis of 31 lesions
GP is recognized for its tendency to mimic PCa on mpMRI, a finding corroborated by this study. However, T1-WI hyperintensity emerged as a promising distinguishing feature for GP. Incorporating this marker into mpMRI interpretation criteria may help reduce unnecessary prostate interventions and improve patient outcomes.
