The study protocol was approved by the ethics committee in Al-Mana General Hospital.ResultsProstate cancer was correctly diagnosed by T2w sequence within 9 patients, 10 by DW&T2w, 13 by T2w – DW-DCE and 14 by of T2w-DW-DCE-MRS sequences.Conclusion3T MRI imaging using phased array surface coil is a useful diagnostic tool for detecting prostate cancer, trustworthy when compared to endorectal approach.
