Introduction: High-grade adenocarcinoma of the prostate tends to have denser glandular structures and a prominent desmoplastic reaction, which could be detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a super-high b-value in diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequence, to differentiate it from low-grade carcinomas.
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic validity of the diffusion sequence with values of b4000 s/mm2 for the diagnosis of high-grade prostate cancer (Gleason score ≥ 7).
Materials And Methods: It is a retrospective analytical study of male patients who have undergone a prostate biopsy and count with a prostate MRI with a DWI sequence of a super-high b-value (4000 s/mm2).
Endometrial polyps are a common cause of abnormal vaginal bleeding and infertility, which can be identified with different imaging methods.
