Advanced diffusion-weighted imaging with multiple parameters in differential diagnosis of prostate transitional zone carcinoma and benign prostatic hyperplasia

Conventional MRI sequences and DWI sequences are difficult to identify prostate transitional cell carcinoma and benign prostatic hyperplasia. In this study, traditional DWI sequences, intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI), stretch index DWI sequences and DKI sequences were used to compare the accuracy of these sequence parameters in the differential diagnosis of prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia. The results showed that ADC-slow, DDC, Md, Da, Dr, MK, Ka and Kr were helpful in differentiating prostate cancer from benign prostatic hyperplasia, and MK value had the highest accuracy in differentiating prostate cancer from benign prostatic hyperplasia.
