The Prostate Imaging and Data Reporting System version 2 (PI-RADS v2) aims to simplify performance, interpretation, and reporting of prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).1 PI-RADS v2 introduced probability scores (assessment categories, Table 1), which indicate the likelihood of clinically significant cancer (Gleason score ≥7)2 based upon MRI findings. PI-RADS v2 has been validated as accurate for detection of cancers and improves interobserver agreement. 3 Despite this, in our experience, use of PI-RADS v2 scores in practice is variable. This study evaluated a method to improve use of PI-RADS v2 scores by using a plan-do-study-act (PDSA) analysis.
