Apparent diffusion coefficient ratio correlates significantly with prostate cancer gleason score at final pathology

Purpose To evaluate the correlation between apparent diffusion coefficient measurements (ADCtumor and ADCratio) and the Gleason score from radical prostatectomy specimens. Materials and Methods Seventy-one patients with clinically localized prostate cancer scheduled for radical prostatectomy were prospectively enrolled. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed prior to prostatectomy and mean ADC values from both cancerous...
