Restriction spectrum imaging (RSI) is a sensitive DWI technique for probing separable water diffusion compartments in tissues. Here, we evaluate RSI cellularity maps derived from the spherically-restricted water compartment for improved prostate tumor conspicuity and delineation from non-tumor tissue compared with high b-value ADC. Our data support the MRI-derived RSI cellularity maps as potential non-invasive imaging biomarkers for prostate cancer.
