Exploring the diagnostic potential of adding T2 dependence in diffusion-weighted MR imaging of the prostate.

<h4>Background</h4>Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential in the detection and staging of prostate cancer. However, improved tools to distinguish between low-risk and high-risk cancer are needed in order to select the appropriate treatment.<h4>Purpose</h4>To investigat...
