OBJECTIVES: To correlate the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of prostate cancer patients with pathological Gleason scores (GS). METHODS: 40 patients with GS 2 + 3, 3 + 3, 3 + 4, or 4 + 4 were selected. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study was performed adding axial diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequences to the standard MRI protocol. ADC values obtained were correlated with the GS data. RESULTS: Statistically significant differences of ADC (p < .05) were found among GS groups with a trend of decreasing ADC values with increasing GS. CONCLUSIONS: The ADC values may help clinicians to delineate prostate carcinoma, recognizing its high- or low-grade compartments.
