Accurate modeling of T2 decay in prostate may improve
the prostate cancer detection. Glandular structure of
prostate suggests multi-compartment T2 decay of
prostate. In this manuscript multi-echo TSE MRI over
TE=24 to 396msec was acquired and fitted to mono and
bi-exponential T2 decay models. Individual parameters
from mono and bi exponential fitting were able to show
significant difference between cancer and normal
prostate tissue. An accelerated ME-TSE is repeated twice
and compared with un-accelerated ME-TSE MRI showed that
accelerated ME-TSE is accurate but is less precise may
be due to lower SNR.
