This session reviews the various scores recently published to enhance the quality of prostate MRI reports. Their primary goal is to reduce subjective assessments of acquisition quality, active surveillance progression, or the likelihood of recurrence after treatment by offering clear scores based on validated, universally understood objective criteria. Using these scores improves the quality of prostate MRIs and strengthens the role of the radiologist and imaging in cancer management.
