Role of ADC map MR imaging in prediction of local aggressiveness of prostate cancer
Asaad Gamal Asaad Sorial;
Abstract
Carcinoma of the prostate is an important health problem. It is the most frequently diagnosed solid malignant tumor among men.
DW MRI in the prostate is a relative new and increasingly used imaging technique. It has the advantage that it can be obtained during a single breath-hold, as well as lack of use of contrast media.
The ADC maps can provide quantitative measurements of tissue water diffusivity through ADC values which can be used for many applications including assessment of prostate cancer aggressiveness.
In conclusion, ADC values showed a negative correlation with GS.
This study suggests that ADC values may allow the noninvasive assessment of biological aggressiveness of prostate cancer, which may contribute in planning initial treatment strategies.
