Synopsis: Time-dependent diffusion can be used to distinguish populations of low grade/high grade and benign tissue in prostate tissue. We found that peripheral zone experiences transient time-dependence, while tumors have a constant dependence in the same range. Adding time-dependent ADC acquisitions for such analysis is clinically feasible as it costs ~7 minutes without the use of state of the art acceleration techniques.
