[Abstract] In recent years, the application of functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques include diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging (DCE-MRI) and MR spectroscopy (MRS) have demonstrated great potentials to improve the diagnosis accuracy for prostate cancer in early stage. In this paper, we reviewed the state-of-the art of the functional MRI techniques in the early diagnosis of prostate cancer.
