Table 5 Comparison of estimated mean signal-to-noise ratio (eSNR) for T2WI and b2000 DWI for prostate lesions and peripheral zone (PZ). Mean and standard deviation for each eSNR value are shown and significant values are highlighted in bold. The mean %∆ eSNR was calculated as [eSNR (ERC-PAC)-eSNR (PAC)]/[eSNR (PAC)]x100
eSNR PAC | eSNR ERC-PAC | p | Mean %∆ eSNR | |
