  		Fig. 1A —MR images (A-C) and drawings (D-F) show division of prostate into sextants. Drawings were modified from [16]. Axial T2-weighted fast spin-echo images show division of prostate of 61-year-old man into sextants: right and left bases (A), middle gland (B), and apex (C).

  		Fig. 1D —MR images (A-C) and drawings (D-F) show division of prostate into sextants. Drawings were modified from [16]. Drawing shows base resembles shape of clover leaf and extends from bladder floor to level cranial to axial MR image section with largest transverse diameter of prostate.

  		Fig. 1E —MR images (A-C) and drawings (D-F) show division of prostate into sextants. Drawings were modified from [16]. Drawing shows middle gland resembles shape of ellipse and extends from level of largest transverse diameter of prostate to caudal (inferior) level of verumontanum.

  		Fig. 3A —Stage T3a prostate cancer with extracapsular extension at left base in 61-year-old man. Axial T2-weighted MR image (A) and whole-mount histopathology image (B) show there is thickening and bulging of prostatic capsule at left base and low-signal-intensity material in neurovascular bundle region (straight arrow). Smaller tumor foci are seen in right peripheral zone (curved arrow).
