This review article aims to provide an overview on the principles of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) and its applications in the imaging of the prostate. DW-MRI with regards to different applications for prostate cancer (PCa) detection and characterization, local staging as well as for active surveillance (AS) and tumor recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP) will be discussed. Furthermore, advances in DW-MRI techniques like diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) will be presented.
这篇综述文章旨在概述扩散加权磁共振成像（DW-MRI）的原理及其在前列腺成像中的应用。将讨论DW-MRI在前列腺癌（PCa）检测与特征描述、局部分期以及根治性前列腺切除术（RP）后的主动监测（AS）和肿瘤复发等不同应用方面的情况。此外，还将介绍扩散峰度成像（DKI）等DW-MRI技术的进展。
