Examples which highlight the gaps of the PIRADSv2 minimum technical standards (MTS) all acquired at 3 Teslas. (Left Column) An example of an image that is non-adherent to the PIRADSv2 MTS yet still achieved a high-quality image with a clearly visible and easily defined lesion. (Middle Column) 100% adherent to the PIRADSv2 MTS for T2 sequences yet the T2 sequence appears noisy and the separation between the peripheral zone and transition zone cannot be easily appreciated. (Right Column) 100% adherent to the PIRADSv2 MTS for DWI sequences yet the low b-value sequence has significant artifacts and the prostate is difficult to visualize in the high b-value sequence. DWI, diffusion weighted image; PIRADSv2, Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System version 2.
