[Abstract] Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value of intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging for prostate cancer.Materials and Methods: Forty-five patients with prostate cancer and 13 patients without prostate cancer underwent magnetic resonance imaging. DWI was performed by using 8 b values (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 400, 600, 800 s/mm2). Biexponential fits were applied to diffusion decay curves by special software to calculate pure molecular-based diffusion coefficient (D), pseudo diffusion coefficient of perfusion (D*) and perfusion fraction (f) on the basis of the IVIM model, parameter maps were also calculated for all parameters. Independent samples group t tests were performed to evaluate the statistical significance between cancerous tissue and noncancerous tissue.Results: The D, D* and f values in cancerous tissue were (0.83±0.14) ×10-3 mm2/s, (5.88±1.21)×10-3 mm2/s and (14.3±4.7)%, respectively. The D, D* and f values in noncancerous tissue were (1.30±0.23)× 10-3 mm2/s, (6.25±1.10)×10-3 mm2/s and (15.4±3.8)%, respectively. The D value was significantly (P=0.000) lower in cancerous tissue. D* and f values were not significantly different in both tissues. The area under the receiver operating characteristic-analyses for D value was 0.952, sensitivity and specificity were 100%, 66.7%, respectively.Conclusion: Intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging may offer additional information about diffusion and perfusion in prostate cancer. Pure molecular-based diffusion coefficient (D) has an important value in diagnosing prostate cancer.
