Figure 7

(AC) Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps from multi-parametric MRI (mp-MRI); diffusion-weighted image (DWI) at b = 2000s/mm2, classic VERDICT intracellular volume fraction fic and rVERDICT maps (intracellular volume fraction \({\text{f}}^{0}_{{{\text{ic}}}}\); extracellular-extravascular apparent diffusion coefficient Dees; vascular/extracellular-extravascular T2 relaxation time T2vasc/ees; T1 relaxation time) for three exemplar patients with different PCa: (A) age late 50’s, PSA 4.78 Gleason 3 + 3 MCCL 7 mm; lesion in the anterior gland; (B): age late 60’s, PSA 5.21 left posterior lesion Gleason 3 + 4 MCCL 14 mm, left anterior lesion Gleason 3 + 3; (C): age late 60’s, PSA 8.68 Gleason 4 + 3, MCCL 10 mm; lesion in the left peripheral zone. Green arrows indicate Gleason grade 3 + 3, yellow arrows Gleason grade 3 + 4 and red arrows Gleason grade 4 + 3.
