“…We acquired multiplanar (axial, coronal, and sagittal) T2-weighted images with the following parameters: repetition time range/echo time range, 3,400–4,500/100–140; slice thickness, 3 mm; interslice gap, 0.3 mm; matrix, 512×318; field of view, 22 cm; number of signals acquired, 2; and parallel imaging acceleration factor, 2. We performed axial fat-suppressed single-shot echoplanar diffusion-weighted imaging with the following parameters: repetition time range/echo time, 6,500/77; slice thickness, 3.5 mm; no interslice gap; matrix, 192×192; field of view, 30 cm; number of signals acquired, 6; parallel imaging acceleration factor, 2; and b-values, 0 and 1,000 s/mm 2 [14]. Because our hospital only had MRI equipment capable of producing images with b-values ≤1,000 s/mm 2 between 2007 and 2013, we were unable to use b-values >1,400 as recommended by the new Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System guidelines (ver.…”
