Role Of Dynamic Contrast Enhanced And Diffusion Weighted 3 T MRI In Suspected Prostate Cancer

Abstract

Background : Prostate  cancer  is  one  of  the  most  common  malignancies  in  men  and 
preoperative  identification  of  localized  prostate  cancer  for  early detection  and  staging  
are  issues  of  major  concern.  Its mortality  in India  is  2.5/100,000.  MRI  has  the  
potential  to  improve  the identification  of  prostate  cancer  at  an  early  stage.  
Aim: To evaluate the role of 3 Tesla Dynamic contrast enhanced and Diffusion weighted 
imaging in detection of suspected prostate cancer and assessment of its local extent.
