First described by Astraldi in 1937,

While indications suggest that the use of the multiparametric MRI technology is more accurate than a
transrectal ultrasound biopsy in the identification of cancer, findings have shown that its sensitivity for picking up clinically significant tumors in the peripheral zone (or outer area) of the prostate was 85% and just 62% in the transition zone (or innermost section) of the prostate.
