"PI-RADS v2.1 does not contain management recommendations, as these decisions also depend on other factors such as prostate specific antigen, clinical history, local expertise, and patient preferences. However, in general, biopsy should be considered for PI-RADS 4 or 5 lesions, but not PI-RADS 1 or 2 lesions."

"Each lesion can be scored 1-5 on DWI and on T2W, as well as by the absence or presence of dynamic contrast enhancement. The contribution of these scores to the overall PI-RADS assessment differs depending on whether the lesion is located in the transition zone or peripheral zone of the prostate. For the transition zone, the PI-RADS assessment is primarily determined by the T2W score and sometimes modified by the DWI score. For the peripheral zone, the PI-RADS assessment is primarily determined by the DWI score and sometimes modified by the presence of dynamic contrast enhancement."

"For transition zone lesions, the overall PI-RADS assessment usually follows the T2W score, but scores of 2 or 3 can be upgraded by the DWI (see below)."
"For peripheral zone lesions, the T2W score is only used for the overall PI-RADS assessment if the DWI is inadequate or absent. Scores of 3 can be upgraded by presence of dynamic contrast enhancement."
"For peripheral zone lesions, the overall PI-RADS assessment usually follows the DWI score, but a score of 3 can be upgraded by the presence of dynamic contrast enhancement (see below)."
"For transition zone lesions with a T2W score of 2 or 3, a DWI score that is two higher (i.e. 4 or 5, respectively) is used to upgrade the overall PI-RADS assessment by one point (i.e. to 3 or 4, respectively)."
"For peripheral zone lesions with DWI score of 3, the presence of dynamic contrast enhancement is used to upgrade the overall PI-RADS assessment category to 4."
