| Abstract: | We have previously reported a striking correlation between water T2 relaxation time and citrate concentration in the normal prostate (Liney G.P.; Lowry M.; Turnbull L.W.; Manton D.J.; Knowles A.J.; Blackband S.J.; Horsman A. Proton MR T2 maps correlate with the citrate concentration in the prostate. NMR Biomed. 9:59–64; 1996). In this study we present data from similar studies of the pathologic gland. The findings support the hypothesis that measurement of both citrate concentration and water T2 relaxation time in vivo may aid the differentiation of prostatic carcinoma from benign disease and normal tissue. |
