Keywords: Hyperpolarized MR (Non-Gas), Prostate, quantitative imaging
Motivation: There is a pressing clinical need to distinguish aggressive from indolent prostate cancer (PCa).
Goal(s): This study’s objective was to quantify the capability of Hyperpolarized (HP) [1-13C]pyruvate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to distinguish aggressive from indolent PCa.
Approach: A prospectively enrolled patient cohort underwent 3T multiparametric 1H/HP13C MRI followed by prostatectomy and whole-mount histopathology. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to classify lesions.
Results: Statistically significant differences for imaging parameters were observed between low-grade and high-grade PCa. The multivariate model including kPL, ADC, and DCE enhancement slope (ES) predicted aggressive disease with a ROC area under curve = 0.93.
Impact: There is a pressing clinical need to distinguish aggressive from indolent prostate cancer (PCa). Hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate magnetic resonance imaging in combination with 1H multiparametric MRI has demonstrated potential to identify aggressive disease with high accuracy.
