In the current study, multiple high b-value DWI-based texture analysis was applied to evaluate tumor heterogeneity in prostate cancer patients. Parameters, including MinIntensity, MedianIntensity, MeanValue, and Skewnesswere were significantly different among DWI images with different b values. Therefore, texture analysis based on DWI maps with different b values may serve as a preoperative and non-invasive method for evaluating heterogeneity of prostate cancer.
