The image quality of high-resolution PROPELLER T2WI combined with deep learning reconstruction (DLR) in prostate MRI was evaluated by the phantom and clinical studies. In the phantom study, noise reduction was achieved by DLR, and spatial resolution was remarkably improved in PROPELLER T2WI compared to Cartesian T2WI. In the clinical study, DLR showed a significant improvement in signal-to-noise ratio, and the qualitative analyses showed reduced image noise and improved spatial resolution, with PROPELLER T2WI DLR images showing the highest overall image quality. PROPELLER T2WI with DLR would be promising technique to improve the image quality of T2WI in prostate MRI.

At present, the prostate specific antigen (PSA) detection is a common method for screening prostate cancer. However, the specificity of PSA is very low, and it is easy to appear false positive. In recent years, multiparameter imaging has great value in the diagnosis of prostate diseases. Amide proton weighted(APTw) imaging and T1 mapping imaging can more accurately reflect the information of tumor tissue cell metabolism and pathological cell microstructure.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of  APT and  T1 measurements in the diagnosis of prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Keywords: Prostate, Prostate

The aim of this study was to investigate the use of advanced diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM, stretched exponential model and DKI) to sub-differentiation of TZ PI-RADS 3 lesions and aid the biopsy decision process. Finally, the logistic model could correctly classify 89.39% of the subjects. The results of ROC analysis showed that AUC was 0.9197, CI 95%: 0.8736-0.9659. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 92.1%, 80.4%, 93.9% and 75.5%, respectively. Therefore, advanced diffusion-weighted imaging can predict PCa in TZ PI-RADS 3 lesions and inform the decision-making process of whether or not to perform a biopsy.

Keywords: Prostate, Quantitative Imaging

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common types of cancer with a considerable morbidity and mortality. Multiparametric MRI as a noninvasive imaging tool in PCa diagnosis has limitations. Recent studies suggest that quantitative T2 information is helpful in PCa diagnosis and lesion characterization but is not generally available due to the need for additional scans. Here, we developed a DL-based method to estimate T2 maps retrospectively from clinically acquired T1- and T2-weighted images. The developed technique has the potential to improve PCa diagnosis and lesion characterization using quantitative T2 information estimated from conventional clinical scans.

The purpose of this study was to explore the best sequences for fully automated detection and localization of early-stage csPCa with a PSA range of 4-10 ng/mL.1628 prostate mpMRI examined with seven scanners were retrospectively enrolled. A training dataset (n=1428) was used to train models, i.e., a diffusion model was trained with diffusion-weighted imaging, and a biparametric model was trained with diffusion-weighted imaging and T2-weighted imaging. A hold-out test dataset (n=200) was reserved for validation. Our research shows that the diffusion model trained using ADC and DWI achieved best performance in detection and localization of early-stage csPCa.

Keywords: Prostate, Cancer

Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PIRADS) guidelines are used as a standard to help radiologists diminish variation in the acquisition, interpretation, and reporting of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) for prostate cancer diagnosis. However, the performance of mpMRI has been shown to vary across radiologists. A retrospective study was performed at a tertiary care center to assess the range of positive predictive values (PPV) across individual radiologists interpreting mpMRI in detecting any prostate cancer compared to targeted MR-US guided fusion biopsy pathology results.

It has been reported that synthetised DW images with short TR and zero TE, generated from quantitative relaxation parameters, improved lesion contrast in prostate. In this study, we investigate the added value of the estimated T1 and T2 values in differentiating benign from malignant lesion in suspicious cancers with PI-RADS category 3, potentially reducing unnecessary biopsies. In addition to the conventional DW images at b-values of 1000 and 2000, ADC map, and estimated T1 and T2 maps, synthetised DW images can be acquired in approximately 4 minutes, an acceptable scan time in clinical practice.

Diffusion weighted MRI (DWI) derived apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) is a marker of the extent of restrictive diffusion in tissues. Higher Gleason Grade (GG) prostate cancer (PCa) lesions are known to exhibit higher restrictive diffusion. In this study we investigated whether ADC as a tissue biomarker follows the known histopathological behavior of PCa lesions by studying variations in ADC with respect to GG of PCa lesions and its location. We observe that ADC values of lesion voxels, although belonging to same GG, vary based on its location.

The aim of this single-center, prospective study was to evaluate an accelerated diffusion-weighted imaging sequence of the prostate using Echo Planar Imaging with Compressed SENSE based reconstruction and assess its performance in comparison to conventional DWI. The evaluated sequences considerably reduced the total DWI acquisition time by 43% and achieved overall good image quality without significant differences compared to the conventional DWI sequence. The reduced scan time allows for an increase of the overall number of scanned patients as well as increased patient convenience with less potential of motion artifacts and therefore benefits care of patients with suspected prostate cancer.

Keywords: Prostate, Diffusion/other diffusion imaging techniques

The current study investigated the qualitative and quantitative image quality of three DWI sequences of the prostate: SS DWI, MUSE DWI and a new DWI sequence named FOCUS-MUSE DWI. Twenty-three healthy volunteers were enrolled. The diagnostic image quality score was assessed by two radiologists on the three DWI sequences. And the ADC values in the peripheral and transitional zone were measured together with the Dice Coefficient calculated for quantitative comparison. Our results indicated that FOCUS-MUSE DWI had a superior image quality and more stable ADC measurement compared with SS DWI and MUSE DWI. The geometric distortion level was also reduced.

Keywords: Prostate, Cancer

Prostate pathologies like cancer and prostatitis cause alterations in tissue microstructure that are reflected in signal variations on diffusion-weighted MRI or MR relaxometry. Diffusion-weighted MR Spectroscopy (DW-MRS) allows specific characterization of tissue microstructure by quantifying both concentration and diffusion properties of MR-observable metabolites. In this work, an optimized DW-MRS protocol tailored to overcome the inherent challenges of prostate measurements is deployed. Initial results on potential alterations of metabolite concentrations and diffusivities (ADCs) are reported for prostate cancer and prostatitis. The preliminary findings are tentatively explained by microstructure alterations of the prostate tissue.

We compared diagnostic performance of clinically significant PC (csPC) between calculated DWI (calDWI) which enable to synthesize DW images with any TR and TE and native acquired single-shot EPI DWI (nDWI). The calDWI was generated with TR of 1000 and TE of 0 ms. Three radiologists independently assessed eight regions of each prostate by PI-RADS v 2.1 DWI score. For diagnostic performance of csPC, AUC was comparable between calDWI and nDWI in two readers. The diagnostic specificity was significantly higher in calDWI than in nDWI in two readers. Compared with nDWI, calDWI had similar or higher diagnostic performance in csPC.

Aim of this prospective study was to evaluate 23Na MRI of 36 patients with suspected prostate cancer and quantify tissue sodium concentration (TSC) based on internal references. TSC reference regions were defined within both femoral blood vessels (FBV), where TSC showed no significant differences between both sides (3.3±2.2 mM, p=0.076). TSC in the prostate was 39.0±5.3 mM; significantly higher in the peripheral than in the transitional zone (p=0.0004, mean difference 4.7±3.5 mM). Nine lesions were segmented and showed mean TSC of 32.2±5.5, significantly lower than contralateral (p=0.0181). TSC might represent a quantitative biomarker that could improve prostate lesion characterization.
