Conclusion

PI-RADS system is a living document with adaptions being made as evidence accumulates in its use in practice. The evolution of PI-RADS has led to version 2.1, whose adoption will probably improve inter-reader variability and further simplify PI-RADS evaluation of prostate MRI. Research on the value and limitations on all components of PI-RADS v2.1 will eventually lead to PI-RADS 3 and it is anticipated it will include further investigations in bpMRI, applications of artificial intelligence, and potential integration of circulating tumor cells or serum and/or urine biomarkers.
