The Global Reading Room: A Patient With Rectal Gas Artifact on Prostate MRI

A 66-year-old biopsy-naïve patient with a PSA level of 7.3 ng/mL undergoes multiparametric prostate MRI. Despite a preparatory clear-fluid diet and rectal enema, rectal gas renders evaluation of the posterior prostate suboptimal on all sequences. The anterior prostate is unaffected by the artifact and appears normal. What do you recommend? _______________.
