Fig. 11.3

(ae) PI-RADS 2 changes of the peripheral zone. (a) Axial and (b) coronal T2-weighted sequence showing linear hypointensities in the bilateral peripheral zone (PI-RADS score 2). (c) Diffusion-weighted high b-value (calculated b = 1400 s/mm2) image shows no areas of increased signal intensity. (d) ADC map shows no focal hypointense areas (dominant sequence for the peripheral zone) in the peripheral zone (PI-RADS score 2). (e) DCE sequence shows no focal or early enhancement (DCE negative) consistent with an overall PI-RADS score of 2. Linear T2 hypointensities in the peripheral zone are a frequent finding and may represent changes related to chronic prostatitis or post biopsy scarring
