Voxel level statistical comparing RSI-MRI cellularity index between prostate cancer Gleason categories versus normal tissues and between pathological grades. Post-hoc multiple comparison t-tests were implemented in comparing difference in detection of PCa aggressiveness (low grade PCa (primary Gleason 3) and high grade PCa (primary Gleason ≥4)) vs. benign tissue and between tumor grades (low grade PCa vs. high grade PCa).
| Group | Mean difference (standard error) | p-value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pathology vs. normal | |||
| Low grade vs. normal | 1.153 (0.100) | < 0.001 | |
| High grade vs. normal | 1.516 (0.063) | < 0.001 | |
| Between Pathological grades | |||
| High grade vs. Low Grade | 0.364 (0.113) | = 0.003 |
