Multiparametric magnetic resonance is assuming an increasingly important role in the diagnosis, initial assessment and monitoring of patients with prostate cancer. This paper offers a more complex insight into the application of magnetic resonance imaging with prostate cancer, with a current literature overview. The focus is on the problem of initial prostate cancer evaluation which strongly affects further decision-making and therapeutic interventions. Clinical suggestions based on the current guidelines are also offered.Key words: Cancer staging; Diagnostic imaging; Guidelines; Magnetic resonance; Prostate cancer; Radical prostatectomyMultiparametrijska magnetska rezonancija preuzima sve znacajniju ulogu u dijagnostici, inicijalnoj procjeni, kao i pracenju pacijenata s karcinomom prostate. Ovaj rad nudi slozeniji uvid u pitanje primjene magnetske rezonancije kod karcinoma prostate, uz pregled trenutne literature iz podrucja. Posebno teziste je stavljeno na problem inicijalne procjene karcinoma prostate koje uvelike determinira daljnje odlucivanje i terapijsko postupanje. Ponudene su i preporuke temeljene na trenutnim smjernicama.Kljucne rijeci: Dijagnostika; Magnetska rezonanca; Karcinomprostate; Radikalna prostatektomija; Smjernice; Stadij tumora
