ROLE OF DIFFUSION-WEIGHTED MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING IN DIAGNOSIS OF EARLY PROSTATE CANCER
Ali FaiqArar;
Abstract
C
arcinoma of the prostate is an important health problem.It is considered the second most frequent cause of cancer-related death in 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, there is no need to use contrast media and it provides unique information that reflects tissue cellularity and organization. The ADC maps can also provide quantitative measurements of tissue water diffusivity, which can be used not only for disease assessment, but also for the evaluation of disease response to treatment.
In this study, review of the normal appearance anatomy of prostate by MRI image was done as well as the pathology of prostate carcinoma and staging criteria used nowadays.
The aim of this work was to evaluate the role of using diffusion weighted imaging MRI for early prostate cancer detection.
25 patients whatever was included all of them underwent DWI and this was compared to T2WI and histopathology results.
