Fig. 5C —64-year-old man with clinical stage T1c adenocarcinoma of
prostate with Gleason score of 6 and improved spectral resolution of MR
spectroscopy with perfluorocarbon (PFC)-filled endorectal coil. MR spectra
from two hypointense voxels on T2-weighted axial image (A) performed
with air (B) and PFC (C) in endorectal coils show dramatic
improvement in spectral resolution with PFC. Polyamine peaks (Po) are clear in
C but not in B. Line width decreased from 16 to 6 Hz. Larger MR
spectroscopy volume box for MR spectroscopy with PFC (white,
A) than for MR spectroscopy with air (black, A) allows
inclusion of larger area of prostate tissue and anterior rectum.
