About
Dr. Peter L. Choyke is a world-renowned radiologist and researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the modern approach to prostate cancer imaging and treatment. His primary research areas include multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) for prostate cancer detection and staging, the development of novel PET tracers like ¹⁸F-FACBC, and the pioneering use of MRI-guided robotic systems for focal therapy. Dr. Choyke’s most impactful contribution is the development of a standardized MRI grading system for assessing the risk of extraprostatic extension (EPE), a landmark paper with over 238 citations that has become a clinical cornerstone. His work has consistently pushed the boundaries of precision medicine, from comparing endorectal vs. non-endorectal coil MRI (155 citations) to validating novel imaging agents for cancer detection (147 citations). Beyond diagnostics, he has been instrumental in creating MRI-conditional robotic platforms for focal laser ablation, demonstrating a commitment to translating advanced imaging into minimally invasive therapies. With a prolific body of work that bridges radiology, oncology, and biomedical engineering, Dr. Choyke’s research continues to set the standard for how we visualize, characterize, and treat prostate cancer.
