| Popis: | Objective This study aimed to check the sensitivity of phased array surface coli of 3T MRI, in pre-sampling diagnosis of prostate cancer, in an attempt to use it instead of endorectal coil. Patients and methods This was a prospective comparative study, included 20 male patients, presented with suspected prostate cancer due to unexplained high PSA. The study protocol was approved by the ethics committee in Al-Mana General Hospital. Results Prostate cancer was correctly diagnosed by T2w sequence within 9 patients, 10 by DW&T2w, 13 by T2w – DW-DCE and 14 by of T2w-DW-DCE-MRS sequences. Conclusion 3T MRI imaging using phased array surface coil is a useful diagnostic tool for detecting prostate cancer, trustworthy when compared to endorectal approach. |
