Recent work has demonstrated the ability of Diffusion-Relaxation Correlation Spectrum Imaging (DR-CSI) to quantify prostate microscopic tissue compartments (epithelium, stroma and lumen) in ex vivo prostate specimens at 3T using whole-mount digital histopathology as the reference. This study further developed DR-CSI for in vivo characterization of prostate microstructure using high resolution ex vivo DR-CSI as the reference. Consistent trends in DR-CSI signal component fraction variations in different prostate regions were found using in vivo DR-CSI across subjects, and agreed with trends on ex vivo DR-CSI.
