Table 1
PI-RADS scoring system for T2WI—peripheral zone.
PI-RADS score
Criteria
1
Uniform high signal intensity
2
Linear, wedge-shaped, or geographic areas of lower signal intensity, usually not well demarcated
3
Intermediate appearances not in categories 1/2 or 4/5
4
Discrete, homogeneous low signal focus/mass confined to the prostate
5
Discrete, homogeneous low signal intensity focus with extracapsular extension/invasive behavior or mass effect on the capsule (bulging), or broad (>1.5 cm) contact with the surface
