Determining the volume of prostatic carcinoma: value of MR imaging with an external-array coil.
AJR Am J Roentgenol. 1993; (1): 81-6
The size of prostatic carcinomas, as determined by estimations of the tumor volume, has a direct correlation with the histologic grade and stage. Therefore, accurate information about tumor volume can play an important role in determining appropriate treatment and establishing a patient's prognosis. Accordingly, we performed a study to assess the accuracy of MR imaging with external-array coils and the fast spin-echo technique for determining tumor volume in patients with prostatic cancer.
