Recommendation for second opinion on prostate MRI scan?

I had two MRIs and neither saw anything. And the second MRI was after my biopsy and they knew exactly where to look for my PCa.
Do some looking up. MRIs can be anywhere from 50-90% accurate.
I would not rely on them too much.

groundhogy, On your MRI did they use an injectable special contrast that highlights the prostrate and shows suspicious areas? Did they use a implantable probe balloon that also places the prostrate in position and hold it so MRI is more clear? Prostrate can move during a MRI and can blur the MRI.

My MRI with contrast and balloon was done at Mayo Jacksonville. The MRI showed suspicious areas which is what they can do, not diagnose cancer. Then I had MRI/Fusion biopsies and pathology results confirmed areas of prostrate cancer and my Gleason Score and risk level.
