In addition, the spectral resolution at 3T is intrinsically increased, which offers an increased potential for spectroscopic imaging. This article reviews the advantages and drawbacks of 3T MRI in prostate cancer patients and details the current diagnostic accuracy of high-field-strength MRI in localizing and staging prostate cancer.</p>Thursday, 12 Feb 2009 20:43:44 GMT
