Diffusion Tensor Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Prostate Cancer

Diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging of prostate cancer.

PURPOSE To explore the feasibility of 3T magnetic resonance (MR) diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and fiber tracking (FT) in patients with prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty consecutive patients (mean age, 62.5 years) with biopsy proven prostate cancer underwent 3T-MR imaging (MRI) and DTI using a 6-channel external phased-array coil before radical prostatectomy. Regions of interest ...

Simultaneous magnetic resonance diffusion and pseudo‐diffusion tensor imaging

PURPOSE An emerging topic in diffusion magnetic resonance is imaging blood microcirculation alongside water diffusion using the intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) model. Recently, a combined IVIM diffusion tensor imaging (IVIM-DTI) model was proposed, which accounts for both anisotropic pseudo-diffusion due to blood microcirculation and anisotropic diffusion due to tissue microstructures. In t...

Diffusion Tensor Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Pancreas

PURPOSE To develop a diffusion-tensor-imaging (DTI) protocol that is sensitive to the complex diffusion and perfusion properties of the healthy and malignant pancreas tissues. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-eight healthy volunteers and nine patients with pancreatic-ductal-adenocacinoma (PDAC), were scanned at 3T with T2-weighted and DTI sequences. Healthy volunteers were also scanned with multi...
