Popis: Determine the feasibility of dynamic gadolinium enhanced MRI and spectroscopic imaging in routine clinical practice using standard equipment and its usefulness for patients with negative biopsies and high degree of suspicion of prostate cancer.Fifty five patients underwent endorectal MRI using T2W spin echo (SE) imaging, dynamic gadolinium enhanced imaging and proton spectroscopic imaging before repeat US-guided transrectal biopsies. The statistical analysis consisted in the correlation of the results obtained with each of the two MRI techniques and the results of the biopsies in the corresponding prostate lobe.32 patients were included in the analysis. Biopsies revealed cancer for 15 patients. The statistical analysis showed a lack of significant correlation between T2W-SE imaging and biopsy results. A correlation with statistical significance was found between dynamic gadolinium enhanced imaging and biopsies (p=0,0018) and between spectroscopic imaging results and biopsies in the corresponding lobe (p=0,0001).Endorectal MRI with a standard clinical equipment using dynamic gadolinium enhanced imaging and spectroscopic imaging may be used in clinical routine to improve detection and localization in prostate cancer compared to T2 weighted spin echo imaging.
