PET data with the [¹⁸F]-DCFPyL PSMA-targeted probe to examine prostate cancer in patients scheduled for radical prostatectomy was acquired concurrently with diffusion weighted imaging and chemical shift imaging using a 3T PET-MRI. Standard uptake values (SUV) were compared to apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) and choline plus creatine over citrate ratios (CC/C). Positive correlations existed between the SUV and CC/C in voxels with low ADC. Negative correlations existed between the ADC and SUV in voxels with high CC/C, and negative correlations also existed between the ADC and CC/C in voxels with high SUV.
