Detection of more metabolites in prostate cancer is
demonstrated using non-uniformly undersampled (NUS)
echo-planar J-resolved spectroscopic imaging (EP-JRESI)
data processed using maximum entropy (MaxEnt) non-linear
reconstruction method than conventional one-dimensional
(1D) MR Spectroscopic imaging (MRSI). We have quantified
metabolites changes observed in spermine, myo-inositol
and citrate in cancer locations. Based on the ADC
values, the diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) was able to
differentiate the cancer and non-cancer locations. There
were positive and negative correlations between the ADC
values and metabolite ratios in cancer locations
investigated in our study.
