Tumor heterogeneity is considered a key factor in determining the aggressiveness of prostate cancer (PCa). Quantitative MRI and digital whole-mount histopathology (WMHP) have potential to characterize heterogeneity in PCa in terms of MRI properties and tissue composition, respectively. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop a data acquisition and processing framework that produces high-resolution (1x1mm2) co-registered quantitative MRI and digital histopathology maps to enable texture features based quantification of PCa heterogeneity
