Biparametric examination protocol of the prostate.
| Parameter | Localizer | T2w tra (TSE) | DWI | T1w tra (TSE) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TA (in min) | 0.13 | 3:37 | 2:43 | 2:45 |
| TR (in ms) | 3.51 | 7000 | 3500 | 700 |
| TE (in ms) | 1.53 | 104 | 66 | 12 |
| ST (in mm) | 6 | 3 | 3 | 2 |
| Voxel size (in mm) | 1.6 × 1.6 × 6.0 | 0.3 × 0.3 × 3.0 | 0.9 × 0.9 × 3.0 | 0.4 × 0.4 × 3.0 |
| AF | / | 3 | / | 3 |
| b-values (in s/mm2) | / | / | 0, 800 | / |
Note that T2-weighted coronal and sagittal orientations were re-sliced from the transversal orientation. TA = acquisition time, TR = repetition time, TE = echo time, ST = slice thickness, AF = acceleration factor, TSE = turbo-spin echo, DWI = diffusion-weighted imaging.
