About this illustration
Vertical diagnostic pathway from persistent clinical suspicion through prostate MRI, PI-RADS suspicion assessment and a decision about whether biopsy would change care. Yes leads to targeted cores with or without systematic sampling and pathology; No stops before sampling. The embedded authentic axial T2-weighted MRI has original white arrowheads marking the anterior contour beside a right anterior transition-zone tumor identified by its source authors. TZ means transition zone. No PI-RADS score is assigned to the scan.
