Our aim was to evaluate the usefulness of
tissue-specific VRFA 3D-TSE optimized with measured T1
and T2 values of prostate gland comparing to standard
3D-TSE for T2W imaging. Contrast ratio between PZ and PZ
cancer of the tissue-specific VRFA 3D T2W-TSE was
significantly higher than that of standard 3D T2W-TSE (P
< 0.05). Contrast ratio between PZ and TZ of the
tissue-specific VRFA 3D T2W-TSE was significantly higher
than that of standard 3D T2W-TSE (P < 0.05). Spatial
resolution ratio of tissue-specific VRFA 3D-TSE was
improved from standard 3D-TSE (P < 0.05)
