Objective: Our study compares the results of magnetic resonance (MR) examination obtained by the 1.5T and 3T MR scanners using surface coils in patients with prostate carcinoma. Methods: A total of 103 consecutive patients (aged 44-72 years) with biopsy confirmed prostate carcinoma underwent MR examination at 3T or 1.5T with similar protocols including T2-weighted (T2W), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) including apparent coefficient (ADC) maps, dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). MR results were compared with the histopathologic findings of specimen after the radical prostatectomy. The first part of the study assessed local tumor staging. The sensitivity and specificity for extracapsular tumor extension and prediction of seminal vesicles infilt... view moreĀ»
