"Post-biopsy haemorrhage is detectable on multiparametric prostate MRI, particularly in the peripheral zone 2, as hyperintense areas on T1W sequences, due to the paramagnetic effect of methaemoglobin."
"Alone, the positive predictive value of this haemorrhage exclusion sign is about 50%, but with consideration of other features on other sequences, this can approach 95% for prostate cancer 3. This can be especially useful in the post-biopsy state, where post-biopsy changes are considered to reduce the diagnostic yield of MRI."
