This study presents a multi-site study measuring the ability of site-specific diffusion weighted imaging fitting algorithms for differentiating prostate cancer. A dataset of DWI collected from 33 patients and a simulated digital reference object was distributed to thirteen sites who fit the multi-b DWI models with onsite-implemented software. Derived parametric maps were then submitted for central analysis. Each map was aligned to the T2-weighted image, and DWI metrics were extracted from aligned pathologist annotations. A statistical analysis was performed to determine the ability of each metric to differentiate PCA and to determine how fits of simulated data differed between sites.
