We hypothesized that changes in the median apparent diffusion coefficient (mADC) and volume of bone metastases (BM), quantified by whole body (WB) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), are response biomarkers in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). 21 patients completed WB-DWI at baseline and after 12 weeks of treatment in a sub-study within a clinical trial of olaparib in mCRPC, performed on a 1.5-T Siemens Avanto scanner. Four different segmentation techniques were explored including axial skeleton analyses and simpler methods including 5 target lesions. Changes in mADC and volume of BM associated with response to therapy. The simplified approach also showed promising results, warranting further evaluation.
