The aim of this study was to investigate the value of dual-parameter magnetic resonance imaging(bpMRI) combined with regional saturation biopsy in the diagnosis of prostate cancer by means of a prospective randomized controlled study. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can bpMRI guide the timing of prostate puncture and avoid unnecessary prostate biopsy? Effectiveness of focal saturation biopsy versus systemic biopsy + targeted biopsy.

Enter the follow-up cohort without systematic biopsy when prostate cancer is clinically suspected and no PIRADS v2.1 score ≥3 lesions are detected on initial examination. MR plus regional saturation biopsy was performed when MRI progressed.
Systematic biopsy was performed if there was clinical suspicion of prostate cancer and no PIRADS v2.1 score ≥3 lesions were detected on initial examination. If the biopsy was negative enter the follow-up cohort.

The clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) detection rate
csPCa was defined as PCa with a grade group \> 2 or GS ≥ 7. The reference standard was the pathological result.
Time frame: One month after the biopsy procedure.
The Gleason score (GS) of the biopsy sample
The Gleason score (GS) was reported by senior uropathologists according to the Standards of Reporting for MRI Targeted Biopsy Studies (START) criteria and interpreted according to the recommendations of the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) Grade Group. The minimum and maximum of GS are 3 and 5. The higher GS means the higher pathological grade.
Time frame: One month after the biopsy procedure.
The PCa detection rate
Time frame: One month after the biopsy procedure.
