(b) Axial T2 weighted sequence through the prostate with an endorectal coil (EC) shows focal decreased signal in the peripheral zone posteriorly (arrow) anterior to the rectum (R). Biopsy of the prostate gland demonstrated prostate adenocarcinoma in the right and left base and the apex with a Gleason score ranging from 6 to 8.
