abstract = {To evaluate whether quantitative susceptibility (QSM) may
be used as an alternative to computed tomography (CT) to
detect calcification in prostate cancer
patients.Susceptibility map calculation was performed using
3D gradient echo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from
26 patients measured at 3T who previously received a
planning CT of the prostate. Phase images were unwrapped
using Laplacian-based phase unwrapping, the background field
was removed with the V-SHARP method, and susceptibility maps
were calculated with the iLSQR method. Two blinded readers
were asked to identify peri- and intraprostatic
calcifications.Average mean and minimum susceptibility
values (referenced to iliopsoas muscle) of calcifications
were -0.249 ± 0.179 ppm and
-0.551 ± 0.323 ppm, and average mean and maximum
intensities in CT images were 319 ± 164 HU and
679 ± 392 HU. Twenty-one and 17 out of 22 prostatic
calcifications were identified using susceptibility maps and
magnitude images, respectively, as well as more than half of
periprostatic phleboliths depicted by CT. Calcifications in
the prostate and its periphery were quantitatively
differentiable from noncalcified prostate tissue in CT (mean
values for calcifications / for noncalcified tissue: 71 to
649 / -1 to 83 HU) and in QSM (mean values for
calcifications / for noncalcified tissue: -0.641 to 0.063 /
-0.046 to 0.181 ppm). Moreover, there was a significant
correlation between susceptibility values and CT image
intensities for calcifications (P < 0.004).Prostatic
calcifications could be well identified with QSM.
Susceptibility maps can be easily obtained from clinical
prostate MR protocols that include a 3D gradient echo
sequence, rendering it a promising technique for detection
and quantification of intraprostatic calcifications.1 J.
