Understanding Spatial Correlation Between Multiparametric MRI Performance and Prostate Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) has shown a substantial impact on prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis. However, the understanding of the spatial correlation between mpMRI performance and PCa location is still limited.

Purpose

To investigate the association between mpMRI performance and tumor spatial location within the prostate using a prostate sector map, described by Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) v2.1.

Study type

Retrospective.

Subjects

One thousand one hundred forty-three men who underwent mpMRI before radical prostatectomy between 2010 and 2022.

Field strength/sequence

3.0 T. T2-weighted turbo spin-echo, a single-shot spin-echo EPI sequence for diffusion-weighted imaging, and a gradient echo sequence for dynamic contrast-enh
