The research revealed that 7.7% of patients screened for pancreatic cancer had their tumors missed on initial imaging exams but were diagnosed with cancer between three and 18 months later.  

The addition of computer-aided diagnostic generated MRI series could help radiologists identify clinically significant prostate cancer more frequently.
