A. How does imaging infl uence patient outcome in prostate cancer?
R.A. van Moorselaar; Amsterdam/NL
Learning Objectives:
1. To learn who, how and when to treat for localised prostate cancer.
2. To learn the role of the radiologist in the follow-up of prostate cancer patients.
3. To determine the role of imaging in active surveillance of prostate cancer.
A-387 14:30
B. How can imaging improve prostate biopsy?
F. Frauscher, L. Pallwein; Innsbruck/AT
Learning Objectives:
1. To show how new ultrasound techniques (i.e. contrast agents, elastography, texture analysis) can improve
visualisation of prostate cancer.
2. To show the role of image-guided biopsies for prostate cancer diagnosis and therapy.
3. To show future developments such as targeted contrast agents for ultrasound imaging of prostate cancer.

C. Endorectal MR imaging of prostate cancer: How to do it in less than 30 minutes at 1.5 T
F. Cornud, F. Préaux, F. Thévenin, A. Chevrot; Paris/FR
Learning Objectives:
1. To discuss which MR protocol should be used to accurately assess the local staging of a newly diagnosed
prostate cancer.
2. To learn how to select patients who really need endorectal MRI.
3. To learn that dynamic MR imaging and MR spectroscopy can be helpful to localise a tumor initially missed
by TRUS-guided biopsies.
4. To learn how to avoid false positives of extraprostatic spread.
