tPSA, total PSA; PSAD, PSA density; PI-RADS score, prostate imaging reporting and date system score; T2WI score, T2WI score referring to PI-RADS v2; DWI score, DWI score referring to PI-RADS score; csPCa, clinical significant prostate cancer; Total score, T2WI score + DWI score. Model 1 = f/tPSA + PSAD + T2WI score. Model 2 = f/tPSA + PSAD + Total score; AUC, area under the curve; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval for AUC; Cutoff, best cutoff; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value.
