The presumed reason for incontinence is external sphincter damage from TURP or pre-existing damage from e
## Abstract ## Purpose To prospectively evaluate the incremental value of diffusionβweighted imaging (DWI) with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps in addition to T2βweighted imaging (T2WI) for predicting locally recurrent prostate cancer in patients with biochemical failure after radiation
