Diagnostic accuracy of ultra-high-b-value 3.0-T diffusion-weighted MR imaging for detection of prostate cancer.

Purpose: To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of 3.0-T diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for detection of prostate cancer by using different b-values.

Methods: Seventy-three patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 3.

MRI of the neck at 3 Tesla using the periodically rotated overlapping parallel lines with enhanced reconstruction (PROPELLER) (BLADE) sequence compared with T2-weighted fast spin-echo sequence.

Purpose: To evaluate motion artifacts, tissue contrasts, and lesion detectability in the neck with the periodically rotated overlapping parallel lines with enhanced reconstruction (PROPELLER) (BLADE) technique.

Materials And Methods: A total of 46 patients referred for MRI of the neck were included in a comparison of T2-weighted BLADE (T2W-BLADE) sequence and T2W fast spin-echo (T2W-FSE) sequence. All examinations were performed at 3T using the same parameters.
