Abstract:
Looking for better diagnostic methods of prostatic tumours the pelves of 38 males (22 of them suffering from prostatic carcinoma) were examined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This new technique helps to distinguish between healthy and pathological prostatic tissue. It is a non-invasive method, which seems to gain improved significance in the preoperative delineation of prostatic cancer; it is a valuable tool for an accurate preoperative T-staging.
