title: DCE MRI of prostate cancer.
abstract: DCE MRI is an established component of multi-parametric MRI of the prostate. The sequence highlights the vascularization of cancerous lesions, allowing readers to corroborate suspicious findings on T2W and DW MRI and to note subtle lesions not visible on the other sequences. In this article, we review the technical aspects, methods of evaluation, limitations, and future perspectives of DCE MRI.
