We constructed a morphological model of diffusion in the prostate from a limited number of diffusion-weighted images to increase the sensitivity of such diffusion imaging to the presence of prostate cancer. Estimating the measurement error (9.9%) and characterizing the prostate from a large public dataset (n=206) has shown morphological relationships (|r|>0.5) and provided distributions and relationships within the available ADC measures. A model can then be used to give expected values to test against, and enable much larger datasets to be synthesized with the aim of testing various machine learning approaches.
