Motion Correction Technique for T2-weighted Fast-Spin-Echo MRI of the Prostate using Navigator TR
Impact: With only
a few additional TRs, the proposed technique potentially allows correction of
local physiological motion, such as bowel-induced prostate displacements, which
can occur independently of bulk body motion and is more difficult to correct
using conventional approaches.

Optimal Selection of the Effective TE for T2-weighted Fast-Spin-Echo MRI of the Prostate at 3T: Effect on Lesion Conspicuity
Impact: Given no
consensus-based recommendations for the effective echo time (TEeff) for
prostate T2W FSE imaging of prostate cancer, this study provides a systematic
and comprehensive study on its echo-time-dependent contrast behavior, providing
a potential basis for informed TEeff selection.

Bi-parametric quantitative prostate MRI using a single 3D reduced FOV distortion-free sequence
Impact: This work
demonstrates joint ADC and T2 quantification for bi-parametric prostate
examinations within one single 3D scan.

Multi-Shot Reduced-FOV Prostate DWI at 0.55 T For Distortion-Reduced Imaging Near Hip Prostheses
Impact: A pathway toward distortion-reduced diagnostic prostate DWI for patients with hip implants. This approach may support broader adoption of mid-field, reduced-FOV multi-shot methods that may enable high-quality DWI when hardware is present without compromising diagnostic confidence, SNR, or image quality.

Synthetic Magnetic Resonance Imaging combined with Amide Proton Transfer-weighted Imaging in Grading of Prostate Cancer
Impact: Combining SyMRI and APTw enables comprehensive, noninvasive assessment of prostate cancer aggressiveness by integrating structural and metabolic information, improving preoperative risk stratification and supporting personalized clinical decision-making.

Scanner-integrated Fiducial Localization for MRI-Guided Trans-perineal Procedures of the Prostate
Impact: This work introduces a fully
scanner-integrated fiducial localization tool for MRI-guided trans-perineal prostate
procedures. By eliminating external computers and third-party software, it
streamlines workflow for planning needle trajectories directly within the MRI
environment.

High-resolution Diffusion-Weighted Imaging of the Prostate using Complex Signal Average: Initial Experience
Impact: Complex
signal average combined with SR-DLR improves image quality in high-resolution
prostate DWI. The associated ADC increase, likely from reduced noise floor,
indicates enhanced accuracy in quantitative diffusion assessment.

The value of APT weighted and diffusion kurtosis imaging in avoiding unnecessary biopsy in patients with PI-RADS score of 3-4
Impact: Our
study showed APTw and DKI are valuable for the diagnosis of pathological csPCa
in PI-RADS 3-4 patients. Additional application of APTw and DKI would be beneficial
for avoiding unnecessary biopsy in prostate cancer patients with PI-RADS score
of 3-4.

T2-weighted imaging of the prostate using accelerated 2D VORTEX FSE with cartesian and non-cartesian read-out
Impact: Accelerated (scan time between 50 to 93 seconds) T2-weighted
imaging of prostate using VORTEX FSE is feasible and of diagnostic quality.
PROPELLER VORTEX technique is preferred over cartesian read-out for sagittal
and coronal imaging.

Feasibility of Multifrequency MR Elastography of the Seminal Vesicles in Healthy Men, BPH and Prostate Cancer
Impact: The feasibility of
MRE has never been established for the seminal vesicles, despite their
relevance for prostate cancer (PCa) staging. This study demonstrates that fluidity
(φ) is a more sensitive biomarker than stiffness for detecting pathologies, possibly enhancing disease diagnosis.

Reduced Tissue Sodium Concentration in Prostate Cancer Revealed by 23Na-MRI at 3 T
Impact: 23Na-MRI may
provide a promising non-invasive biomarker by measuring TSC for the detection
of prostate cancer.

Clinical Validation of a 64-Channel Ultra-Flexible RF Coil for Prostate Cancer Detection
Impact: Our novel 64-channel coil can improve diagnostic accuracy of prostate cancer by
delivering higher SNR, enhanced tissue contrast, and sharper anatomical detail
than available coils, while its high channel density ensures uniform coverage
across a wide range of patient anatomies.

Radiogenomic Dynamics: ST-GNNs Analysis of CDC20-Associated High-Risk Habitats in Prostate Cancer
Impact: This study aims to validate ST-GNNs for decoding the dynamic evolution of CDC20-associated high-risk habitats in prostate cancer. This enables non-invasive tracking of key biological drivers and significantly improves personalized prognosis by moving beyond static imaging assessments.
