Diagnosis of transition zone prostate cancer using T2-weighted (T2W) MRI: comparison of subjective features and quantitative shape analysis

ConclusionSubjective analysis of T2W-MRI accurately diagnoses TZ PCa with high accuracy also demonstrated for quantitative shape analysis, which may be useful for future radiogenomic analysis of transition zone tumors.Key points•Presence of a complete T2-weighted hypointense circumscribed rim accurately diagnoses BPH.•Round shape accurately diagnoses BPH and can be assessed quantitatively using circularity.•Lenticular shape accurately diagnoses TZ PCa and can be assessed quantitatively using convexity.
