Ex situ endorectal MRI probe for prostate imaging.
A unique ex situ MRI probe, which examines samples external to its geometry, is presented. The probe is intended to be used for imaging the prostate gland via an endorectal pathway. It has a semicylindrical shape with a length of 6 cm and typical diameter of approximately 3 cm. The probe's imaging field of view spans almost along its entire length and up to a distance of 2 cm away from its surf...
متن کاملOrgan-confined prostate cancer: effect of prior transrectal biopsy on endorectal MRI and MR spectroscopic imaging.
OBJECTIVE Our aim was to determine the effect of prior transrectal biopsy on endorectal MRI and MR spectroscopic imaging findings in patients with organ-confined prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Endorectal MRI and MR spectroscopic imaging were performed in 43 patients with biopsy-proven prostate cancer before radical prostatectomy confirming organ-confined disease. For each sextant, two...
متن کاملCorrelation Between Endorectal MRI and Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) in Cancerous and Normal Prostate
Normal Prostate Synopsis: This study determined the relationship of DWI and ADC values between normal and cancer tissue in patients with prostate cancer. 11 patients with biopsy proven cancer were studied by endorectal MRI and DWI. Using a grid system, regions in the prostate gland were denoted as “cancer” and “normal” on T2 images and corresponding ADC values calculated. Results: The differenc...

متن کاملToward Ex Situ Phase-Encoded Spectroscopic Imaging
Spectroscopic imaging of a sample placed outside of both the radio frequency and the imaging gradient coils is presented. The sample is placed in a field with a permanent one-dimensional inhomogeneity. The imaging gradients used for phase encoding are designed to produce a static field that depends only on the transverse direction, uncoupling the effects associated with the single-sided nature ...
