Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer for men, and it has high leading cause of cancer death among men. In this study, DKI and DWI MR measurements were performed to investigate the correlation of the MK, Ka, Kr, MD, Da, Dr, FA and ADC values in ROIs of the prostate and benign prostatic hyperplasia. DKI working at present scanning hardware are capable to detect the pathophysiological changes unattainable to conventional MRI techniques.
