[Abstract] Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential part of the imaging for prostate cancer. Traditionally, MRI was mainly focus on the staging of prostate cancer. However, the application of prostate MRI became more and more extensive recently. Novel indications including prostate cancer diagnosis, prognosis for tumor differentiation, therapeutic decision and MRI-guided biopsy have been discussed by urologists. The novel functional MRI scan makes MRI more useful for prostate cancer.
