## Abstract ## Purpose: To assess the value of quantitative T2 signal intensity (SI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) to differentiate prostate cancer from post‐biopsy hemorrhage, using prostatectomy as the reference. ## Materials and Methods: Forty‐five men with prostate cancer underwen
## Abstract In this study, diffusion‐weighted images of the human prostate were successfully obtained, enabling quantification of apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) in normal and pathologic regions. A dual acquisition fast spin‐echo sequence was used for accurate __T__~2~ calculation. __T__~2~
## Purpose: This retrospective study was designed to evaluate the apparent diffusion coefficient (adc) of line scan diffusion images (lsdi) in normal prostate and prostate cancer. single-shot echo planner images (ss-epi) were used for comparison. ## Materials and methods: Twenty prostate tumors w
## Abstract ## Purpose To evaluate the clinical value of diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic MRI in combination with T2‐weighted imaging (T2W) for the detection of prostate cancer. ## Materials and Methods A total of 83 patients with elevated serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels
## Abstract The transforming growth factor‐β (TGFβ) superfamily and its downstream effector genes are key regulators of epithelial homeostasis. Altered expression of these genes may be associated with malignant transformation of the prostate gland. The cDNA array analysis of differential expression
