You might also want to call your primary care provider and have them order a PSE test, which is a blood test from Oxford Biodynamics with 94% accuracy. The blood test measures five bio markers. The report will tell you whether you are likely, or unlikely to have prostate cancer. As a reference, PSA testing is 55% accurate.

Consider an artificial intelligence DIGITAL comparison of your MRI with thousands of others. DeepViewImaging.com provides the service. You go to their site and register with them. Then ask your facility to send them the digital file of your MRI. If the data is unusable the $259.00 report fee is waived for you or the 3rd party payer if approved. If there is a another MRI later for progress evaluation that data can be reviewed and compared to your first MRI Deep View file and a new report generated for $159.00. There are ANALOG second reads for you MRI from Johns Hopkins & Mayo Clinic. Ideally it would be best prior to the biopsy so as to give possibly additional lesion targeting information.
