T2w imaging of the prostate in two orientations. Axial (a, b) and sagittal (c, d) slices of the prostate of a patient with prostate cancer at 3 T (a, c) and at 7 T (b, d). The patient had a Gleason 3 + 4 lesion in the right midgland peripheral zone. The 3 T data was acquired with an endorectal coil (Medrad®, Pittsburgh, PA, US) at a spatial resolution of 0.4 × 0.4 × 3.0 mm (TE 101 ms, acquisition time 4:21 min for each orientation). 7 T data was acquired as in [35] with an external 8-channel transceiver coil after phase shimming at a spatial resolution of 0.75 × 0.75 × 3.0 mm (TE 71 ms, acquisition time 1:30 min for each orientation)
