“…4). In accordance with the studies by Sumura et al [14] and Roethke et al [18] dealing with detection rates in relation to tumor volume, in our study both modalities had increasing accuracy for prostate cancer detection with increasing tumor volume. Sumura et al, to our knowledge the first study group to evaluate RTE and MRI in the same patient population, found superiority for RTE in the detection of small cancer lesions compared with T2-weighted MRI and CE-MRI separately.…”

“…In general, imaging of prostate cancer is limited by tumor volume (size) and grade, because cancers with a predominant Gleason pattern of 3 (i.e., Gleason score of 6 with 3 + 3 or of 7 with 3 + 4) are intermixed with normal glands and glands with dilated lumina (sparse tumors) [7,17,18]. Delongchamps et al [16] used a similar multiparametric MRI setting with an endorectal coil at 1.5 T and for prostate cancers with volumes greater than 0.2 cm 3 reported a sensitivity of 80% for the peripheral zone and 53% for the transitional zone, which are in concordance with our results.…”

“…Many studies analyzing the morphology and visualization of the tumour noted that the probability of detection decreases with the decreasing size of the lesions (11).…”

“…The sensitivity regarding prostate cancer detection varies in the literature between 36 % and 95 % which primarily depends on the cohort that was examined. To evaluate the diagnostic quality of T2w imaging as a function of tumor size, it was shown in a study with histological large-area sections that morphological T2w imaging alone is not able to reliably rule out carcinoma foci smaller than 10 mm [20]. Therefore, morphological MRI must be supplemented by functional techniques.…”
