Abstract Objective To define the accuracy of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MP-MRI) for identifying focal and established extracapsular extension (ECE) in various zones of the prostate. Methods Between 2010 and 2013, 342 patients underwent MP-MRI of the prostate (3 T, no endorectal coil...
