Diffusion Tensor Magnetic Resonance Tractography of the Prostate: Feasibility for Mapping Periprostatic Fibers

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography of the prostate for mapping of periprostatic neurovascular anatomy. Methods Eight men with prostate cancer scheduled to undergo nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) underwent endorectal multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the prostate with DTI. Tract mapping was accomplished by positioning spherical regions of interest...
