Editorial Comment

The PICTURE study (references 13 and 14 in article) and the companion PROMIS study (reference 1 in article), in which men being evaluated for prostate cancer underwent magnetic resonance imaging followed by a comprehensive mapping biopsy, are monumental contributions. The biopsy procedure involved transperineal template sampling of the prostate at 5 mm intervals and often more than 60 cores of tissue were obtained at 1 sitting. The work helped establish the value of MRI in men suspected of having prostate cancer.
