This study investigates the feasibility of diagnosing prostate cancer through matrix analysis of Hybrid Multidimensional MRI (HM-MRI) data. Data was acquired with all combinations of TE (47,75,100ms) and b-values (0,750,1500s/mm2), resulting in a 3×3 matrix associated with each voxel. Matrix analysis parameters: trace, eigenvalues and eigenvectors were calculated for benign tissue and prostate cancer. Prostate cancer showed significantly increased trace, eigenvalue 1, eigenvector components v12 and v13 and reduced v11 compared to normal tissue. PCa diagnosis is feasible using matrix analysis of HM-MRI data with parameters showing good differentiation between PCa and benign prostatic tissue (AUC 0.80-0.96 on ROC analysis).
