In this study, 3T MRI of the prostate using a two-channel solid phased-array endorectal receive coil (ERC) (Sentinelle, InVivo Corporation, Philips Healthcare) combined with phased array coil (PAC) was compared to PAC only for image quality and lesion conspicuity on T2WI and DWI. Improved image quality was found for T2WI and high b-value DWI and improved lesion contrast using ERC-PAC, while there was no difference in lesion conspicuity. These preliminary results show that the use of ERC-PAC improves prostate MRI image quality, without necessarily impacting lesion detection.
