Q-space trajectory imaging (QTI) has shown promise for characterisation of tissue microstructure. This study seeks to determine if QTI is feasible in assessment of prostate cancer (PCa) and to prefrom a preliminary evaluation of its role to help identify clinically significant prostate cancer (Gleason Grade group ≥2 lesions). QTI was performed in 40 men, 16 of which had biopsy-proven PCa and a PIRADS v.2.1 score ≥3. Preliminary data suggest that quantification of QTI values may indeed be helpful in men with clinically significant disease.
