- The most accurate screening test for prostate cancer
- Can help doctors distinguish between aggressive and slow-growing cancers
- Can help avoid unnecessary biopsies and associated side effects
- Recommended by the American Urological Association
Multiparametric prostate MRI (mpMRI) is an exciting new screening tool for men who have risk factors for prostate cancer. As a front-line test, it can help you detect—or rule out—prostate cancer without the “poke and hope” approach of a blind prostate biopsy.
If a biopsy is needed, prostate MRI can ensure the biopsy is highly targeted to the area in question, potentially reducing the number of biopsy samples needed and thereby reducing the number of needle sticks required to obtain them.

The OnQ Prostate Difference
Through our partnership with CorTechs.ai, prostate MRI at Imaging Healthcare Specialists uses a unique diffusion technique called Restriction Spectrum Imaging (RSI) along with artificial intelligence. This provides valuable information that helps our doctors to differentiate between clinically significant, aggressive cancer and less threatening, slower-growing cancer. We are the only regional imaging center network to offer this advanced technology on all prostate MRI exams.
In addition, we are the most experienced imaging provider in San Diego when it comes to prostate MRI. Our state-of-the-art equipment and software are optimized for this test. Our technologists have been specially trained and use advanced protocols when imaging patients. Our doctors work closely with urologists in the community to ensure that these exams are performed in the context of patient history and other health concerns. The goal of our prostate MRI screening program is to help men achieve early detection of life-threatening cancer while helping them avoid an unnecessary biopsy and/or overtreatment.
