We present a multi-site study measuring the ability of various software platforms to fit diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) models for differentiating prostate cancer (PCA) of different Gleason patterns. A dataset of DWI collected from 33 PCA patients was distributed to ten collaborating groups who fit the multi-b DWI models with onsite software and submitted the derived parametric maps to a central analysis site. Each map was aligned to the T2-weighted image and compared to pathologist annotations of whole-mount prostate samples. A statistical analysis was performed for similarity of the quantitative values, and the ability of each metric to differentiate PCA.
