PROSTATE
The prostate MRI examination was performed with a 3.0 T MRI scanner (Philips Ingenia, The Netherlands), and a pelvic 32-channel phased array coil was used for all patients. According to recommendations of PI-RADS v2.1 guideline, the following imaging protocols were used: axial turbo spin echo (TSE) T2 weighted image (T2WI, repetition time [TR] = 3000ms; echo time [TE] = 100ms; slice thickness = 3.0 mm, the scanning field of view (FOV) = 220 mm×220 mm, matrix = 276 × 240), sagittal TSE T2WI (TR = 6000ms, TE = 77ms, slice thickness = 3.0 mm, FOV = 220 mm×220 mm, matrix = 104 × 125), and axial DWI (TR = 6000ms, TE = 77ms, layer thickness = 3.0 mm, FOV = 260 mm×260 mm, matrix = 104 × 125) and multiple All examinations were independently reviewed by two board-certified radiologists (
