Microstructure Characterization of Bone Metastases from Prostate Cancer with Diffusion MRI: Preliminary Findings

Microstructure Characterization of Bone Metastases from Prostate Cancer with Diffusion MRI: Preliminary Findings

PurposeTo examine the usefulness of rich diffusion protocols with high b-values and varying diffusion time for probing microstructure in bone metastases. Analysis techniques including biophysical and mathematical models were compared with the clinical apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC).MethodsFour...
