Analysis of Diffusion-weighted MR Images Based on a Gamma Distribution Model to Differentiate Prostate Cancers with Different Gleason Score.
CONCLUSION: Frac < 0.3 and Frac < 0.5 showed higher diagnostic performance than ADC for differentiating GS ≥ 4 + 3 from GS ≤ 3 + 4 cancers. The gamma model may add additional value in discrimination of tumor grades.
