A Feasibility Study Evaluating the Functional Diffusion Map as a Predictive Imaging Biomarker for Detection of Treatment Response in a Patient with Metastatic Prostate Cancer to the Bone

A Feasibility Study Evaluating the Functional Diffusion Map as a Predictive Imaging Biomarker for Detection of Treatment Response in a Patient with Metastatic Prostate Cancer to the Bone

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in American men with a subset inevitably presenting with metastatic disease to the bone. A wellrecognized limitation in evaluating new treatments for metastatic PCa is the inability to use imaging to objectively assess response therapy. In...
