However, the combination of several pulse sequences is needed for more accurate diagnosis. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a new, promising technique for assessing the prostate (2). Although a normal prostate generally shows a symmetrical and concentric form, it is suspected that the structure will show deformities if Pca exists. In this study, we assessed the changes of ADC values and DTI between pre- and post-radiation., Joint Annual Meeting ISMRM-ESMRMB 2007}, title = {ADC value and Diffusion Tensor Imaging of Prostate Cancer; Therapeutic changes with Heavy Ion Charged Particl Radiation Therapye}, year = {2007} }
