Synthetic correlated diffusion imaging hyperintensity delineates clinically significant prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer in men worldwide and the most frequently diagnosed cancer among men in more developed countries. The prognosis of PCa is excellent if detected at an early stage, making early screening crucial for detection and treatment. In recent years, a new form of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging called correlated diffusion imaging (CDI) was introduced, and preliminary results show promise as a screening tool for PCa.

Spatial correspondence of spinal cord white matter tracts using diffusion tensor imaging, fibre tractography, and atlas-based segmentation.

Purpose: Neuroimaging provides great utility in complex spinal surgeries, particularly when anatomical geometry is distorted by pathology (tumour, degeneration, etc.). Spinal cord MRI diffusion tractography can be used to generate streamlines; however, it is unclear how well they correspond with white matter tract locations along the cord microstructure.
