Areas lacking consensus in clinical mpMRI reporting
• PI‐RADS_v2 scoring system may be used during training/gaining experience before switching to the use of subjective Likert‐impression once experienced.
• The narrative report should refer to the sectors as named in the PI‐RADS_v2 pictorial report used: e.g. sectors named PZpl (postero‐lateral PZ), PZpm (posteromedial PZ), TZp (posterior TZ), TZa (anterior TZ), etc.).
• In the pictorial report, the prostate diagram should be represented in all three planes.
• mpMRI suspicious lesions contouring should be performed only when targeted biopsy or focal treatment is planned.
• Tumour volume should be calculated by summation of contoured areas on each slice of the tumour/software rendering.
• Transition zone (TZ) tumour should be measured from T2 only (as in PI‐RADS_v2).
