in the shape of the prostate and the central gland (combined central and transitional zones) between men with biopsy confirmed prostate cancer and men who were identified as not having prostate cancer either on account of a negative biopsy or had pelvic imaging done for a non-prostate malignancy...
2d). In contrast, the sagittal T2w MRI volume, which is acquired as part of the same MRI exam for the same patient, has high-resolution in the sagittal plane (Fig. 2e), but anisotropic resolution in the axial plane (Fig. 2b). Fig. 2d–e show the same prostate depicted in the ...

The correct identification of extracapsular extension (ECE) of prostate cancer (PCa) on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) is crucial for surgeons in order to plan the nerve-sparing approach in radical prostatectomy. Nerve-sparing strategies allow for better outcomes in preserving erecti...
This multicenter, retrospective study assessed the added value of magnetic resonance dispersion imaging (MRDI), a quantitative analysis of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI), alongside standard multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). Seventy-six pat...
