Abstract
We congratulate Valerio et al. for their work “3T multiparametric MRI of the prostate: Does intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion imaging have a role in the detection and stratification of prostate cancer in the peripheral zone?” in the European Journal of Radiology [ [1] Valerio M. Zini C. Fierro D. Giura F. Colarieti A. Giuliani A. et al. 3T multiparametric MRI of the prostate: does intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion imaging have a role in the detection and stratification of prostate cancer in the peripheral zone?.

The authors conclude in their paper that IVIM parameters increase the specificity and sensitivity in the evaluation of peripheral zone prostate cancer. A statistical difference between low grade tumors and high grade tumors has been demonstrated for the ADC, D and D* dataset. 3T multiparametric MRI of the prostate: Does intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion imaging have a role in the detection and stratification of prostate cancer in the peripheral zone?European Journal of RadiologyVol. 85Issue 4PreviewMultiparametric magnetic resonance (mp-MR) combined with magnetic resonance (MR)—targeted biopsy is considered valuable tool for early detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (PCa) [1].
