MR Imaging of Prostate Cancer: Diffusion Weighted Imaging and (3D) Hydrogen 1 (¹H) MR Spectroscopy in Comparison with Histology

Figure 1

Patient (45 y.o.) with prostate cancer (2.6 cm): PSA-level 9.7 𝜇g/L (free PSA-level 14.56 𝜇g/L); Gleason-Score 4+5=9. In the T2w image (a) the prostate cancer is demonstrated in the right peripheral zone. In the correspondent ADC-map (b) the prostate cancer is clearly shown as a hypointense area. The left peripheral zone looks hyperintense on the T2w image, but the ADC-map reveals the remaining healthy prostate tissue.
