- Objective: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and PI-RADS (Prostate Imaging - Reporting and Data System) has become the standard to determine a probability score for a lesion being a clinically significant prostate cancer. T2-weighted and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) are essential in PI-RADS, depending partly on visual assessment of signal intensity, while dynamic-contrast enhanced imaging is less important. To decrease inter-rater variability and further standardize image evaluation, complementary objective measures are in need. Methods: We here demonstrate a sequence enabling simultaneous quantification of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and T2-relaxation, as well as calculation of the perfusion fraction f from low b-value intravoxel incoherent motion data. Expandable wait pulses were added to a FOCUS DW SE-EPI sequence, allowing the effective echo time to change at run time. To calculate both ADC and f, b-values 200 s/mm(2) and 600 s/mm(2) were chosen, and for T2-estimation 6 echo times between 64.9 ms and 114.9 ms were used. Results: Three patients with prostate cancer were examined and all had significantly decreased ADC and T2 values, while f was significantly increased in 2 of 3 tumors. T2 maps obtained in phantom measurements and in a healthy volunteer were compared to T2 maps from a SE sequence with consecutive scans, showing good agreement. In addition, a motion correction procedure was implemented to reduce the effects of prostate motion, which improved T2-estimation. Conclusions: This sequence could potentially enable more objective tumor grading, and decrease the inter-rater variability in the PI-RADS classification.
