Abstract

Background: Due to infrastructural and financial constraints, public institutions in low‑ and middle‑income countries (LMICs) use low‑field magnetic resonance imaging (LFMRI) systems, which limits the possibility for global guideline conformity. Nonetheless, existing systems are being used to broaden the scope of prostate cancer (PCa) imaging assessment and disease characterization. Because LMICs have a dearth of subspecialty radiologists, general radiologists would need more exposure to meet the growing needs of the subspecialties, conform to universal best practice, and improve clinical outcomes. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate MRI reports for PCa evaluation generated by general radiologists at a tertiary hospital on a LFMRI (
