Recent consensus suggested PCa detection based on mpMRI lacks necessary sensitivity or specificity to differentiate prostatitis from PCa, which results in over-diagnosis and over-treatment. Our novel method, diffusion MRI histology (D-Histo), demonstrated its ability to accurately localize, quantify and distinguish between PCa and prostatitis. D-Histo’s improved diagnosis accuracy could more effectively guide treatment planning and assess treatment efficacy.
