Twenty-seven patients with histologically confirmed prostate cancer underwent two repeated 3T MRI examinations consisting of T RAFF , T 1 lower case Greek rho and T 2 mapping. Rotating frame imaging (RAFF, and continuous wave T 1 lower case Greek rho ) of PCa was feasible using clinical 3T MRI scanner and demonstrated robust repeatability. Both T RAFF and T 1 lower case Greek rho of PCa differed significantly from similar value of normal peripheral zone.
