Three-dimensional Proton MR Spectroscopy of Human Prostate at 3 T without Endorectal Coil: Feasibility

Abstract: Three-dimensional proton MR spectroscopy of the prostate, with a combination of only external radiofrequency surface coils at 3 T, can be used to discriminate cancer from healthy tissue.

“…A 3D weighted k-space acquisition with dual-frequency selective refocusing pulses to suppress water and lipid signals was used. 8 The surrounding lipid tissues were additionally suppressed by manual placement of saturation slabs. The nominal voxel size was kept constant in all measurements at 8 3 8 3 8 mm 3 by adapting the matrix size and the field of view to every patient.…”

“…Zero filling and filtering of the MR spectroscopy matrix artificially increase the spatial resolution beyond the actual spatial resolution of the measurement. 8 Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI was conducted using a 3D axial gradient echo sequence (Table 1). 20 acquisitions of 72 slices each requiring 23 s per acquisition were obtained before and after the administration of gadolinium-based contrast medium.…”

“…MRSI calculates the choline/citrate (C/C) ratio and determines the degree of aggressiveness of the cancer dependent on the C/C ratio. [25][26][27][28] However, when 1.5T magnet devices are used, this process takes 13-20 min., and assessment is rather complex and requires additional training and expertise. For this reason, its use in routine urology practice is rather limited and it is usually used for research purposes.…”

“…Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) has demonstrated a high level of ability to differenciate prostate tissue from Cancer [1] and it is now feasible without endorectal coil [2,3]at higher magnetic fields (≥ 3T) one more time for patient comfort. Three-dimensional proton (3D 1H) Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging (MRSI) of the entire gland displays relative concentrations of metabolites, particularly citrate and choline (Fig.…”
