Repeatability of Quantitative Imaging Features in Prostate Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

ABSTRACT: Background: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) has emerged as a non-invasive modality to diagnose and monitor prostate cancer. Quantitative metrics on the regions of abnormality have shown to be useful descriptors to discriminate clinically significant cancers. In this study, we evaluate the reproducibility of quantitative imaging features using repeated mpMRI on the same patients. Methods: We retrospectively obtained the deidentified records of patients, who underwent two mpMRI scans within 2 weeks of the first baseline scan. The patient records were obtained as deidentified data (including imaging), obtained through the TCIA (The Cancer Imaging Archive) repository and analyzed in our institution with an institutional review board-approved Health Insurance Po
