[Abstract] Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used in prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis for over a decade. Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) is one of the methods of the MRI techniques that could provide qualitative as well as quantitative information at a cellular level. DWI potentially could develop into a powerful technique to improve the accuracy of MRI to evaluate the PCa. In this article, we will present the basics of DWI, clinical application, as well as the limitations and the future directions of DWI of PCa.
