Comparative StudyThree-dimensional contrast-enhanced hepatic MR imaging: comparison between a centric technique and a linear approach with partial Fourier along both slice and phase directions.
To compare the image quality of two variants of a three-dimensional (3D) gradient echo sequence (GRE) for hepatic MRI. ⋯ The enhanced 3D GRE sequence available on our scanner provided better hepatic image quality than the centric variant, without compromising lesion contrast.

Clinical utility of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in patients with prostate cancer: can ADC values contribute to assess the aggressiveness of prostate cancer?
To retrospectively evaluate the relationship between apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and Gleason score (GS) in prostate cancer. ⋯ ADC values showed a negative correlation with GS. Pathologically, however, there was considerable intrasubject heterogeneity.
