title: [MR tomography of the prostate].
abstract: Due to technical developments, such as gradient echo, turbo-spin echo sequences, fat saturation, surface coils, and endorectal coils, the potential of MR imaging in diseases of the prostate has improved significantly. In histologically proven cancer of the prostate MR tomography is the best imaging modality for tumor staging. For clinically relevant purposes, MRI following transrectal ultrasonography is the method of choice.
