Résumé

Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a main component of multiparametric MRI for prostate cancer detection. Recently, high b value DWI has gained more attention because of its capability for tumor characterization. To assess based on histopathological findings of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy as a reference, an increase in signal intensity of prostatic lesions in comparison with normal background tissue on high b-value diffusion-weighted images could be a sign of malignancy. Fifty-three consecutive patients retrospectively included in the study. All patients underwent routine TRUS-guided prostate biopsies involving 12 cores after the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations. In seventeen patients (n =35 lesions), the prostate cancer was histologically confirmed by TRUS-guided prostate biopsy. The biopsy results of other patients were negative. Signal intensities on the high b-value (1600 s/mm In the patients with confirmed prostate cancer, fourteen had visually increased SI on the high b-value images. The SI of lesions for these patients was higher than the SI of peripheral zone (22±18%) or central gland (31±20%). In patients with a negative biopsy, eight had visually increased SI on the high b-value images. The SI of lesions for these patients was 23±21% and 35±18% higher than the SI in the peripheral zone and the central gland, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV for prostate cancer using SI of high b value DWI were 71, 87, 62, and 87 %, respectively. Visually increased SI on the high b-value images can be an indication of malignancy, although some benign lesions also show this increase in signal intensity.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a main component of multiparametric MRI for prostate cancer detection. Recently, high b value DWI has gained more attention because of its capability for tumor characterization.
OBJECTIVE OBJECTIVE
To assess based on histopathological findings of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy as a reference, an increase in signal intensity of prostatic lesions in comparison with normal background tissue on high b-value diffusion-weighted images could be a sign of malignancy.
MATERIAL AND METHODS METHODS
Fifty-three consecutive patients retrospectively included in the study. All patients underwent routine TRUS-guided prostate biopsies involving 12 cores after the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations. In seventeen patients (n =35 lesions), the prostate cancer was histologically confirmed by TRUS-guided prostate biopsy. The biopsy results of other patients were negative. Signal intensities on the high b-value (1600 s/mm
RESULTS RESULTS
In the patients with confirmed prostate cancer, fourteen had visually increased SI on the high b-value images. The SI of lesions for these patients was higher than the SI of peripheral zone (22±18%) or central gland (31±20%). In patients with a negative biopsy, eight had visually increased SI on the high b-value images. The SI of lesions for these patients was 23±21% and 35±18% higher than the SI in the peripheral zone and the central gland, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV for prostate cancer using SI of high b value DWI were 71, 87, 62, and 87 %, respectively.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
Visually increased SI on the high b-value images can be an indication of malignancy, although some benign lesions also show this increase in signal intensity.
