Prostate cancer and prostatic calcifications have a high incidence in elderly men. We aimed to investigate the diagnostic capabilities of susceptibility-weighted imaging in detecting prostate cancer and prostatic calcifications. A total number of 156 men, including 34 with prostate cancer and 122 with benign prostate were enrolled in this study. Computed tomography, conventional magnetic resona...

Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (SWI) is a common MRI technique that exploits the magnetic susceptibility differences between the tissues to provide valuable image contrasts, both in research and clinical contexts. However, despite its increased clinical use, SWI is not intrinsically suitable for quantitation purposes. Conversely, quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (qMRI) provides a way to...

PURPOSE To compare the added value of dynamic contrast material-enhanced ( CE contrast enhanced ) ( DCE dynamic CE ) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with that of dynamic susceptibility CE contrast enhanced ( DSC dynamic susceptibility CE ) MR imaging with the combination of CE contrast enhanced T1-weighted imaging and diffusion-weighted ( DW diffusion weighted ) imaging for predicting recurrent...
