Abstract
The authors investigated the feasibility of a multisection proton magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopic imaging technique for the acquisition of metab olic information in the human prostate. Multisection MR spectroscopic imagi ng was performed of citrate phantom and of the prostates of eight adult vol unteers. High-quality proton MR spectra and citrate metabolite maps of the prostate were obtained with this method.
