In vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy and dynamic contrast enhanced imaging of the prostate gland

The quantitation of in vivo H-1 MR spectroscopy and dynamic contrast enhanc ed MR imaging is described for patients with histologically confirmed prost ate adenocarcinoma and benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). Results are pres ented which suggest that combined use of these techniques may be helpful in improving the characterization of prostate pathologies and ultimately incr ease the staging accuracy of magnetic resonance.
