Magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) was acquired in patients with clinical suspicion of prostate cancer. After diagnoses were confirmed by pathology, T1 and T2 values from MRF were used with ADC values to retrospectively separate malignancy from normal peripheral zone (NPZ). All MR parameters showed significant difference between prostate cancer and NPZ. Furthermore, T2 and ADC used in conjunction had a high discriminatory power (AUC = 0.996). Further research is needed to determine the robustness of using T2 and ADC to identify prostate cancer prospectively, and to explore the possibly utility of T1 in identifying malignancy.
