The important role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the anatomic evaluation, detection, and staging of prostate cancer is well established. This paper focuses on the pertinent embryologic, anatomic, and imaging facts regarding both the normal prostate and the several examples of prostate cancers as well as staging implications. The discussion primarily includes findings related to T2-weighted imaging as opposed to the other functional sequences, including diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) or dynamic contrast enhanced MRI and MR spectroscopic imaging, respectively.
磁共振成像(MRI)在前列腺癌的解剖学评估、检测及分期方面的重要作用已得到充分确立。本文重点关注有关正常前列腺、前列腺癌的多个实例以及分期意义的相关胚胎学、解剖学和影像学事实。讨论主要包括与T2加权成像相关的发现,而非其他功能序列,分别为扩散加权成像(DWI)或动态对比增强MRI以及磁共振波谱成像。
