Apparent diffusion coefficient of the prostate in men prior to biopsy: determination of a cut-off value to predict malignancy of the peripheral zone.

abstract：:Progress in the development of non-proton NMR applications in medical research has been hampered by the generally low sensitivity of these nuclides as well as the lack of instrumentation readily available for studying these spins. For example, custom head coils suitable for sodium imaging of the human head are either ...
