Novel Diffusion-Weighted MRI for High-Grade Prostate Cancer Detection

Abstract

Matching in-vivo mpMRI to whole embedded RP sections is a challenging technical process given the vast difference in image resolution and scale. This process iscritical for evaluating new imaging modalities. Our initial findings illustrate the potential of the stretched exponential model parameters to better characterize high-grade prostate cancer. Additional work is underway to establish the correspondence between the DDC and a-maps with histological sections of the entire prostate gland.
