Figure 1.
Patient with a biopsy proven prostate cancer of the right transitional zone (Gleason score 3+4 = 7).
Images from simultaneous [18F] choline PET/MRI. A) T2-weighted image showing an ill-defined hypo-intense lesion of the right transitional zone. B) Diffusion-weighted image at a b-value of 1000 displaying a hyper-intense signal within the lesion indicating restricted water diffusion. C) ADC map with a corresponding hypo-intensity of the lesion. D) PET image showing a focal uptake of (18F) choline of the lesion. E) Fused MRI/PET image.
Figure 2.
Patient with a biopsy proven prostate cancer (Gleason score 3+4 = 7) of the left peripheral and transitional zone. Images from simultaneous [18F] choline PET/MRI.
A) T2-weighted image displaying a large hypo-intense lesion of the left peripheral and transitional zone. B) Diffusion-weighted image (b = 1000) showing a hyper-intense signal of the lesion. C) Corresponding ADC map with a hypo-intense delineation of the lesion. D) PET image indicating of focal choline uptake of the lesion. E) Fused MRI/PET image.
Figure 3.
Graphical illustration of Pearson’s product moment correlation of SUVmax vs. ADC aver.
The scatter plot demonstrates a weak negative correlation between SUVmax and ADCaver (R = −0.24), which is statistically not significant (p = 0.179).
Figure 4.
Pearson’s product moment correlation of SUVmean vs. ADC aver.
The scatter plot indicates a weak negative correlation between SUVmax and ADCaver (R = −0.27), which is statistically not significant (p = 0.136).
Figure 5.
Pearson’s product moment correlation of SUVmax vs. ADCmin.
There is no correlation between the two parameters (R = −0.03, p = 0.877).
Figure 6.
Pearson’s product moment correlation of SUVmean vs. ADCmin.
There is no correlation between the two parameters (R = −0.08, p = 0.679).
