EditorialLuminal Water Imaging: Comparison With Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI) and PI-RADS for Characterization of Prostate Cancer Aggressiveness.
Luminal water imaging (LWI), a multicomponent T2 mapping technique, has shown promise for prostate cancer (PCa) detection and characterization. ⋯ LWI parameters, in particular in combination, showed superior diagnostic performance for differentiation between low-grade and high-grade PCa compared to ADC and PI-RADS assessment. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2020;52:271-279.

Histogram Analysis Comparison of Monoexponential, Advanced Diffusion-Weighted Imaging, and Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI for Differentiating Borderline From Malignant Epithelial Ovarian Tumors.
The accurate preoperative differentiation between borderline and malignant epithelial ovarian tumors (BEOTs vs. MEOTs) is crucial for determining the proper surgical strategy and improving the patient's postoperative quality of life. Several diffusion and perfusion MRI technologies are valuable for the differentiation; however, which is the best remains unclear. ⋯ 4 Technical Efficacy Stage: 2 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2020;52:257-268.

Improved quantification of myelin water fraction using joint sparsity of T2 * distribution.
Myelin water fraction (MWF) can be quantified with analysis of the T2 * distribution, whereas deducing the T2 * spectrum from several echoes is an underdetermined and ill-posed problem. ⋯ 2 Technical Efficacy: Stage 1 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2020;52:146-158.
