Abstract

IVIM parameters increase the specificity and sensitivity in the evaluation of peripheral zone prostate cancer. A statistical difference between low grade tumors and high grade tumors has been demostrated in that ADC, D and D* dataset; in particular, D has been found to have the highest significativity.
