Purpose To study the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (PCa) by readers with different experience, comparing performance with biparametric magnetic resonance imaging (bmMRI) and with the reference multiparametric (mpMRI). Methods Retrospective analysis of 68 patients with mpMRI of...
