“…The higher magnetic field strength of the 3.0-T MRI has been shown to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, allowing increased spatial MRI resolution and significantly improved anatomic detail (19). Our group has also demonstrated improved contrast of 3.0-T imaging over 1.5-T imaging, particularly in identifying intraprostatic anatomy (20). This has allowed an increased sensitivity in detecting intraprostatic lesions and extracapsular extension on 3.0-T MRI (19).…”
