This study compared prostate multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) performed using an 18-French rectal tube in place throughout the examination after initial placement by a technologist (n = 97) with mpMRI performed without rectal tube placement (n = 99). Acquisition parameters were otherwise identical. Two radiologists scored subjective image quality and measured rectal diameter. For both readers, rectal tube placement was associated (p < .001) with improved ADC map quality, decreased DWI distortion, decreased rectal gas, and decreased rectal diameter. Findings support routine rectal tube placement for prostate mpMRI.
