The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic performance of mp-MRI using T2WI, DWI, DTI and MRSI for prostate cancer patients with various Gleason scores. mp-MRI using T2WI, DWI, DTI and MRSI on 12 prostate cancer patients. The area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of T2WI+DWI and T2WI+DWI+DTI+MRSI images were generated and used to evaluate the performance of mp-MRI for discriminating cancer and healthy regions. Our results suggest that mp-MRI using DWI, DTI and MRSI in combination with structural T2WI improve performance for discrimination of cancer and healthy prostate tissues.
