Since there is no clear relationship between the coefficients of the DWI biexponential model and permeability and pharmacokinetics, we aim to correlate the coefficients associated to the IVIM-DKI model, MRE, and quantitative and semiquantitative maps of the multiparametric prostate protocol. Through a Python algorithm, the DWI data acquisition was fitted to an IVIM-DKI function after a semi-automatic segmentation. Then, PR, PCa and healthy tissue were evaluated, and the IVIM-DKI parametric maps were contrasted with the DCE and MRE through a Pearson’s correlation test. Empirical relationships were established between the pseudo-perfusion models, semiquantitative maps and the variables of the compartmental models.
