The tensors derived from diffusion tensor imaging describe complex diffusion in tissues. However, it is difficult to compare tensors directly or to produce images that contain all of the information of the tensor. Therefore, it is convenient to produce scalar measures that extract desired aspects of
Combined MRI and 3D spectroscopic imaging (MRI/3D-MRSI) was used to study the metabolic effects of hormone-deprivation therapy in 65 prostate cancer patients, who underwent either short, intermediate, or long-term therapy, compared to 30 untreated control patients. There was a significant time-depen
## Abstract ## Purpose To evaluate the clinical value of diffusionβweighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic MRI in combination with T2βweighted imaging (T2W) for the detection of prostate cancer. ## Materials and Methods A total of 83 patients with elevated serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels
