Multiparametric MRI has been shown to improve detection, localization and characterization of patients with suspected prostate cancer (PCa). The current PIRADS guideline (v2, 2015) states that the additional use of an endorectal imaging coil (ERC) increases SNR at any magnetic field strength which may be particularly useful for staging and inherently lower SNR sequences (DWI or DCE). On the other hand, phased array coils with 16 or more elements may also provide adequate SNR. This work assesses the potential benefit of an ERC for the detection of prostate cancer– within the same patients.
