Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate: MRI and MR spectroscopy features.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to investigate the MRI and MR spectroscopy features of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate.


CONCLUSIONS
MRI and MR spectroscopy do not appear to provide the ability to reliably detect the lakes of extracellular mucin seen in mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate.
