OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively analyze the accuracy of simplified multiparametric MRI at 1.5 T for local staging by using whole-mount-section histopathological analysis as the standard of reference. METHODS: 123 consecutive patients underwent T2 weighted, T1 weighted and diffusion-weighted MRI without endorectal coil prior to radical prostatectomy. The accuracy of predicting extracapsular extension (ECE) (T3a) was assessed using direct signs or the combination of direct and indirect signs of extraprostatic extension. The accuracy of predicting seminal vesicle invasion (T3b) was evaluated, taking into account different routes of seminal vesicle involvement. Finally, adjacent organ invasion (T4) was evaluated in this patient population. RESULTS: Histopathology showed T3a, T3b and T4 in 61, 28 and 9 cases, respectively. The use of direct signs of extraprostatic extension showed a sensitivity of 57.4% and specificity of 91.9%. The combination of direct signs and indirect signs improved sensitivity (85.2%) at the expense of moderate loss of specificity (83.9%). MR sensitivity for the detection of seminal vesicle invasion was low (53.6%); however, it was dependent on the route of seminal vesicle tumour infiltration. MR sensitivity and specificity for adjacent organ invasion were 88.9% and 99.1%. CONCLUSION: Simplified MRI study at 1.5 T provides a relatively high sensitivity for detecting ECE (T3a) when using the combination of indirect and direct signs. However, this high sensitivity reading is at the cost of a moderate loss of specificity. Invasion of the seminal vesicles (T3b) occurs most often along the ejaculatory duct complex with low MR sensitivity. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Simplified MRI study at 1.5 T without endorectal coil could be used for the local T staging of prostate cancer.
