[Abstract] Objective To explore the value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the diagnosis of metastatic and non-metastatic lymph nodes of prostate cancer. Materials andMethods Fifty patients with prostate cancer who underwent lymph node dissection were analyzed retrospectively. All patients underwent conventional MRI and DWI before operation. Three hundred and three lymph nodes were removed. The difference of apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC) between metastatic and non-metastatic lymph nodes was compared. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn, and the cutoff value for metastatic lymph nodes detection was determined, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were calculated.Results The ADC of metastatic lymph nodes (0.816±0.105)×10-3 mm2/s was lower than that of non-metastatic lymph nodes (1.298±0.251)×10-3 mm2/s, P=0.025. ROC curve showed that the ADC value for the best critical point of diagnosis for metastatic lymph nodes was 0.970×10-3 mm2/s. The sensitivity was 94.5%, specificity was 74.5%, accuracy was 67.0%.Conclusions Value of ADC is helpful in differentiating metastatic and non-metastatic lymph nodes in prostate cancer.
