The purpose of this study was to validate a five
dimensional spectroscopic imaging technique (3 spatial
and 2 spectral dimensions) utilizing semi-Laser 180
pulses, called semi-Laser 5D Echo-Planar J-Resolved
Spectroscopic Imaging (5D EP-JRESI), in the prostate of
healthy volunteers and prostate cancer patients. This
technique provides full coverage of the prostate. The
results show that qualitative differences in the
two-dimensional spectra (differences in citrate and
choline) can be seen between a healthy location and an
unhealthy location in a prostate cancer patient. This
technique will continue to be evaluated in a larger
number of healthy volunteers and cancer patients.
