According to current guidelines, in cases of newly diagnosed prostate cancer the type and extent of imaging to be performed should be based on the patient's risk profile. We investigated the rate of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and bone scintigraphy carried out before radical prostatectomy (RP) depending on the individual risk profile.
