This article summarizes a few of these recent advancements in quantitative MRI techniques that look at the \"Virtual Pathology\" of the prostate with an aim to enhance prostate cancer detection and characterization.

These methods provide detailed insights into underlying prostate microstructure and tissue composition and have shown improved diagnostic accuracy over conventional MRI. These innovative MRI methods hold potential for augmenting mpMRI, reducing variability in diagnosis, and paving the way for MRI as a 'virtual histology' tool in prostate cancer diagnosis.

Initial results demonstrate promising performance with respect to reference measurements. These techniques have a high potential impact on providing a solution to the clinical need of accurate liver fat and iron quantification in populations with limited breath-holding capacity.</p><p><strong>Discussion: </strong>As these free-breathing techniques progress toward clinical translation, studies of the linearity, bias, and repeatability of free-breathing PDFF and R<sub>2</sub>* quantification in a larger cohort are important. Scan acceleration and improved motion management also hold potential for further enhancement.</p>","PeriodicalId":18067,"journal":{"name":"Magnetic Resonance Materials in Physics, Biology and Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"583-602"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141748523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
