Post biopsy prostate haemorrhage significantly alter the
T1 and T2 MRI signal which makes it challenging to interpret these images.
Moreover the temporal changes of T1 and T2 MRI signal characteristics is
unclear. Prostatic post-biopsy ADC maps quantitative signal changes has not
been widely investigated.In this prospective study, the longitudinal signal
changes of prostate multi-parametric MRI is analysed.
