“…20 In addition, the application of T2* in the evaluation of prostate cancer has been validated. 24,25 PI-RADS v2.1 considers T2WI as the most important sequence for detection and characterization of TZ lesions, followed by DWI. 26,27 In theory, the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and quantitative T2* provide important biophysical information that is related to TZ PCa.…”

“…For confirmation of the ablation zone, a contrast-enhanced T1W scan is usually done (with optional subtraction images) at the end of treatment. Re-treatment after gadolinium contrast administration is not performed, as the contrast agents can be retained in the ablated tissue for several hours [26]. This makes the evaluation after re-treatment suboptimal, and causes potential toxicity if the stability of the gadolinium chelate is compromised by markedly increased tissue temperatures.…”
