Figure 3

A 64-year-old male with biopsy-proven Gleason 3+4 prostate cancer in the right apex of the prostate, as depicted by area of decreased signal on axial T2-weighted image (a, arrow). Early postcontrast images from standard DCE (b) and GRASP DCE (c) show corresponding focus of abnormal early enhancement in this sextant (arrow, b,c), which is better defined on GRASP image. On standard DCE at the earliest timepoint showing enhancement in right peripheral zone tumor, there is also avid enhancement in transition zone BPH nodules; on the other hand, on GRASP, contrast arrives in right apical tumor at an earlier timepoint than elsewhere in the prostate.
