Men, have you had your MANogram yet?

According to Dr. Robert Princenthal, Medical Director for RadNet’s Prostate MRI Program, this study is part of the growing evidence to support what he calls the “man-o-gram,” or as he explains, “prostate MRI plus PSA screening (a blood test not offered at our locations, but available at a local lab through your referring physician), in order to optimize early detection.”

A new study shows that performing MRI scans before biopsy on men with high PSA scores could reduce prostate cancer death rates by almost 20%. A negative MRI can reduce unnecessary biopsies by 25%.
