title: Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the central, transition and peripheral zones of the prostate: assignments and correlation with histopathology.
abstract: Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is used to compare the chemistry of the transition, central and peripheral zones of the prostate. The assignments are made using two-dimensional correlated spectroscopy and the results compared with histopathology. The chemistry associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostate intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) and malignant biopsy tissues are described. There are distinct MR spectral patterns for glandular and stromal BPH, PIN and adenocarcinoma. Importantly, there are also different spectral patterns from BPH in the transitional and central zones when compared to BPH in the peripheral zone. A pattern recognition method is used to analyze the MR spectra from the biopsy specimens. The resultant mathematical classifiers generated a high level of accuracy (sensitivity and specificity of 100 and 97%). It was found that for this accuracy to be achieved, the classifiers need to be developed by comparing the spectra with specialist serial sectioned histopathology. With serial sectioned pathology the pattern recognition method was capable of identifying less than 5% of adenocarcinoma in a given piece of tissue. Many of the chemicals identified in the biopsy specimens are available for inspection from the prostate, in vivo, at 3 T.
