Hypogonadism and prostate cancer detection on multiparametric MRI and mpMRI-TRUS fusion biopsy
Currently, there is a dearth of data concerning the impact of hypogonadism on prostate cancer detection by imaging. In this study, we evaluated the performance of multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) and mpMRI-TRUS fus...
