65 year-old patient with prostate-specific antigen level of 56 ng/ml and GS 7 (3 + 4) prostate cancer (arrows) with a diameter larger than 1.5 cm, mainly located in the right peripheral zone (segment 1p/2p): Using surface coils only (A) and an additional endorectal coil (D), the tumor is visible as a hypointense mass on T2WI. For both settings, features on DWI (B and E, respectively) are less pronounced while ADC maps (C and F, respectively) indicate a small corresponding region with restricted diffusion independent of the choice of imaging coils. Best matching histological section of prostatectomy specimen (G) with tumor foci outlined by the pathologist (dorsolateral edges are missing because of prior frozen section analysis). In this example, both readers assigned a mean PIRADS score of 4 for T2WI and 4 for DWI for both settings.
