Diagnostic Performance of Biparametric versus Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Prostate Cancer Diagnosis: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
bpMRI is noninferior to mpMRI for csPC detection at the patient level. At the per-lesion level, noninferiority was demonstrated for specificity but not for sensitivity. Broader implementation should occur in settings with assured image quality, and further work is needed to define minimum quality-control standards required for adoption.
