Age dependence of citrate concentration and its ratio to
creatine and cholines in the prostate was studied in
healthy volunteers at 1.5T and 3T MR systems using 3D
CSI sequence. Coefficient of asymmetry between left and
right peripheral zones was calculated. Significant
increase in the citrate concentration was found between
20 and 70 years and equation parameters for age
dependence of prostate metabolites were determined.
