What Your MRI Score Means

Your MRI report will show one of these scores. Keep in mind that a PI-RADS5 does not necessarily mean that there is aggressive cancer. A PI-RADS5 can be a Gleason 6. Again, these are humans who read these images and interpret them.

PI-RADS 1 – Very low (clinically significant cancer is highly unlikely to be present)
PI-RADS 2 – Low (clinically significant cancer is unlikely to be present)
PI-RADS 3 – Intermediate (the presence of clinically significant cancer is equivocal)
PI-RADS 4 – High (clinically significant cancer is likely to be present)
PI-RADS 5 – Very high (clinically significant cancer is highly likely to be present)
