A 69-year-old man with Gleason 4 + 3 prostate cancer (white arrows). Diffusion signal evaluated using different models of analysis: mono-exponential (a) intravoxel incoherent exponential model (IVIM) (b), diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) (c), and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) (d). DWI can offer multiple parameters depending on the model of analysis, including ADC, perfusion fraction (f), or apparent kurtosis (Kapp) with a different biological meaning. Biological and physiological correlation of parameters obtained from analysis is not entirely clear and their clinical value may depend on tumor type
