## Abstract We have designed a solid endorectal receiver coil for MRI of the prostate. The coil provided an improved signalβtoβnoise ratio up to 5 cm from its surface when compared with a standard pelvic phased array. This preliminary report describes 16 patients who were imaged using this coil, se

Background. The introduction of the endorectal coil magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique has improved the accuracy of preoperative staging for prostate cancer. This study quantifies the improvement in the ability to identify clinically unsuspected extraprostatic disease with the use of the end
In previous in situ point-resolved spectroscopy (PRESS) three-dimensional (3D) 1H magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopic imaging studies, it has been demonstrated that the ratio of prostatic metabolites can noninvasively discriminate prostate cancer from surrounding normal tissue. However, in these s
