[Abstract] Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) can detect the degree of water molecules diffusion noninvasively, playing an important role in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. In recent years, the development of several mathematical models, including conventional mono-exponential DWI, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) model, is likely to enhance the value of DWI in prostate cancer. This article introduces these mathematical models briefly and reviews their research advances in the detection, diagnosis, differential diagnosis and aggressiveness assessment of prostate cancer.
