Re: 1.5 Tesla. For years, we have been urged to only get 3-Tesla.

But it turns out 1.5-Tesla machines, newer ones, can be just as good: https://howardwolinsky.substack.com/p/have-we-been-getting-the-straight?utm_source=publication-search

This is quite interesting. My blind TRUS biopsy FEB23 revealed 1 core, 3+3, Decipher 0.25 and onto AS I went. Eight months later, 1.5T MP-MRI yielded PI-RADS 2, a 'good sized' gland (83cc), lots of BPH and 'possible prostatitis'. I was only partially happy, wondering if because it was 1.5T something was missed. So there could be an 'invisible lesion' in there, but my 0.07 PSA density says probably not.

It's amazing as time goes on how much we learn about this. The Guv'mint needs to put more money into PCa research.
