Key Points

• Identify, assure, and measure major sources of variability affecting the MRI-directed biopsy pathway for prostate cancer diagnosis.
• Develop strategies to control and minimize variations that impair pathway effectiveness including the performance of main players and team working.
• Assure end-to-end quality of the diagnostic chain with robust multidisciplinary team working.
