Revised PROPELLER for T2-weighted imaging of the prostate at 3 Tesla: impact on lesion detection and PI-RADS classification.

Purpose: To evaluate revised PROPELLER (RevPROP) for T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) of the prostate as a substitute for turbo spin echo (TSE).

Materials And Methods: Three-Tesla MR images of 50 patients with 55 cancer-suspicious lesions were prospectively evaluated. Findings were correlated with histopathology after MRI-guided biopsy.

In-bore transrectal MRI-guided prostate biopsies: Are there risk factors for complications?

Purpose: To systematically analyze risk factors for complications of in-bore transrectal MRI-guided prostate biopsies (MRGB).

Materials And Methods: 90 patients, who were scheduled for MRGB were included for this study. Exclusion criteria were coagulation disorders, therapy with anticoagulant drugs, and acute infections of the urinary and the lower gastrointestinal tract.

Differentiation of prostatitis and prostate cancer using the Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS).

Purpose: To determine if prostate cancer (PCa) and prostatitis can be differentiated by using PI-RADS.

Materials And Methods: 3T MR images of 68 patients with 85 cancer suspicious lesions were analyzed. The findings were correlated with histopathology.

Abdominal vasculature in dynamic contrast-enhanced liver MRI at 3.0T: an intraindividual comparative study using gadoxetate disodium and gadofosveset trisodium.

Objectives: To intraindividually compare gadoxetate disodium and gadofosveset trisodium regarding vessel contrast, image quality and vessel delineation in dynamic contrast-enhanced liver MRI at 3.0T.

Methods: Twelve patients underwent 3.
