This study investigates the ability of multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) including DWI, 1H-MRSI and DCE-MRI to discriminate low-grade from higher-grade peripheral zone (PZ) prostate cancer in a multi-center setting, using whole-mount section histopathology as the gold standard. Guided by histology and blinded to functional imaging, ROIs were defined on T2w imaging in PZ tumors in 39 patients from 5 centers, and transferred to functional parameter maps. ROC analysis resulted in areas under the curve of 0.800.13 for ADC and 0.830.15 for a multivariate model including both ADC and MRSI. Multicenter mpMRI can yield good separation between low and higher grade PZ tumors.
