We evaluated the utility of multiparametric prostate MRI, including T2-weighted imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging, in predicting treatment response following focal laser ablation of prostate cancer in a multi-reader study. DWI appears to be the most useful sequence in response assessment, but inter-reader agreement was moderate at best.
