Prostate MRI using a rigid two-channel phased-array endorectal coil: comparison with phased array coil acquisition at 3 T

Table 1 Characteristics of the study population (n=33). Continuous variables such as age, serum PSA, and PSAD are expressed as means ± standard deviation, with range of values provided

Parameter
Age (y)	65.3 ± 7.7 (48-78)
Race/Ethnicity
Caucasian	22
African American	7
Hispanic	2
Asian	2
Serum PSA (ng/mL)	9.9 ± 6.5 (0.82-36.7)
Serum PSAD^a (ng/mL/g)	0.15 ± 0.09 (0.04-0.41)
Pathology Results^b	22 total PCa lesions in 18 patients
Negative biopsy	14
Gleason 3+3	11
Gleason 3+4	6

^aPSAD Prostate specific antigen density, defined as PSA/prostate volume calculated with MRI
^bOne patient did not undergo prostate biopsy and therefore this information was not available
^cOne patient underwent prostate biopsy at an outside institution and the Gleason score was reported as “Gleason 7”
