Abstract
Using a transrectal probe, good quality ^31^P magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the human prostate was performed safely, consistently, and in a reasonable amount of time (average of 60 min). Initial results indicate that transrectal ^31^P MRS has the ability to characterize the phosphorylated metabolites of normal, hyperplastic, and malignant prostates. This study demonstrated that malignant prostates are characterized by significantly decreased levels of phosphocreatine (PCr) and increased levels of phosphomonesters (PME) as compared to healthy prostates.

A novel resonator for receiving 31P NMR signals at 1.5 T, which because of its topology has been named a "sectorial resonator," exhibits good radio frequency coupling to the adult human liver. Minimal contamination from nonliver tissue (i.e., muscle) was achieved by the use of depth selective pulses
## Abstract Conventional approaches for MR elastography (MRE) using surface drivers have difficulty achieving sufficient shear wave propagation in the prostate gland due to attenuation. In this study we evaluate the feasibility of generating shear wave propagation in the prostate gland using a tran

In order to assess the accuracy of various volumetric methods for screening and follow-up of prostatic disease, total prostate volume and inner zone volume were measured by transrectal ultrasonography in a screening population of 716 men. Semiplanimetric and caliper formula methods were compared wit
The quantitation of in vivo 1 H MR spectroscopy and dynamic contrast enhanced MR imaging is described for patients with histologically confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma and benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). Results are presented which suggest that combined use of these techniques may be helpful in
