Predictive role of T2WI and ADC-derived texture parameters in differentiating Gleason score 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 prostate cancer

Since Gleason score (GS) 4 + 3 prostate cancer (PCa) has a worse prognosis than GS 3 + 4 PCa, differentiating these two types of PCa is of clinical significance.To assess the predictive roles of using T2WI and ADC-derived image texture parameters in differentiating GS 3 + 4 from GS 4 + 3 PCa.Forty-eight PCa patients of GS 3 + 4 and 37 patients of GS 4 + 3 are retrieved and randomly divided into training (60%) and testing (40%) sets.
