Sixteen patients with prostate cancer were examined with 1,5T MR unit before and after HIMAC therapy. Following axial and coronal T2 and axial T1-weighted images, DWI was obtained in the axial plane with a single-shot echo-planar imaging(EPI) sequence using SENSE method. ADC(apparent diffusion coefficient) map and tensor map were calculated with a computer program on numerical integration software. After HIMAC therapy, low intensity area in ADC map was reduced in 10 patients, although low intensity area in T2-weighted image was reduced in 6 patients. Adding ADC map to T2-weighted image made the recognition of change of tumor easier in 9 cases out of 16 patients. In 8 patients, tensor map after HIMAC therapy demonstrated a concentric anisotrophy of prostate more orderly than before. Contrast of T2-weighted image was better in 1.5T than 3.0T MRI unit, whereas contrast of ADC map was equal or better in 3.0T than 1.5T MR unit.}, pages = {5--6}, title = {前立腺癌の高速撮影法 SENSE(sensitivity encoding) を用いた拡散強調画像}, year = {2006} }
