More accurate estimation of prostate volume is important
for therapeutic trials. A recently evolved 3D-TSE T2WI
sequence termed SPACE provides a high spatial resolution
and isotropic volume image compared with the
conventional 2D-TSE sequences. These improvements expect
to provide more accuracy in prostate volume estimation.
We compared 3D-SPACE with 2D-TSE about prostate volumes.
Reference standard of prostate volume was obtained from
pathology report as a gold standard. 3D-SPACE showed a
higher correlation (SPACE; r=0.98, 2D-TSE; r=0.96) and a
less relative error (p<0.01): (SPACE; 0.12}0.13,
2D-TSE; 0.19}0.15) with reference standard of prostate
volume.
