This study aims to evaluate diagnostic efficacy of high b value (2000s/mm2) zoomed field of view (iZOOM) with a 2D-RF EPI sequence, compared with conventional ss-EPI (CONV) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for peripheral zone (PZ) prostate cancer (PCa) detection at 3.0 T. Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System version 2 (PI-RADS v2) were used as evaluation tool and the TRUS-guided systematic plus targeted biopsies was considered as reference standard. It demonstrated iZOOM could provide excellent visual conspicuity as well as a better diagnostic performance compared with CONV DWI in PZ, especially in the small lesions and the lesions abutting the capsule.
