Line scan ADC trace maps of the canine prostate during thermal ablation with a transurethral ultrasound applicator. Image (a) shows the ADC trace map before heating started. During heating (b), diffusion increases (arrow) due to increasing temperature. When tissue coagulation occurs, diffusion decreases although the temperature is still high (c); the arrow shows the dip inside the heating zone. After cooling back to body temperature (d), diffusion in the coagulated region remains low (arrow).
