PSA to 5 and obstructive urinary symptoms.

So we have our axial T2, our ADC map windowed
0:12
at 1400xss1400, a high B-value diffusion image.
0:17
This is an interpolated B equal
0:19
1600 image and a coronal T2.
0:22
I don't have post-contrast images in this case.
0:26
We start in the peripheral zone, and again, you notice
0:31
the ADC map and the high B-value image are a bit ugly.
0:34
So you know it's going to be a
0:35
bit of a difficult case to read.
0:37
So the peripheral zone is very heterogeneous.
0:40
There are areas of bright signal, there's
0:42
poorly defined, streaky areas of low signal.
0:45
There's also some more focal mass-like areas of low signal.
0:48
So we'll start here.
0:49
We have a well-defined area of decreased T2
0:51
signal in the left lateral peripheral zone.
0:54
It has corresponding diffusion restriction.
0:57
This is a black hole on the ADC map.
0:59
The ADC value, I think, was around 600,
1:02
but you can check the text to confirm.
1:05
It's focally bright on the high B-value.
1:07
It measures less than 1.5 centimeters,
1:08
and there's no evidence
1:11
that this is going outside of the capsule.
1:12
So, this is PIRADS 4, based on
1:15
the diffusion images and size.
1:19
It also gets a PIRADS score of 4 for T2,
1:21
but the diffusion score outweighs that.
1:24
Um, and this was biopsied.
1:28
I can't remember from just 30 seconds
1:30
ago, this was a Gleason 3 plus 4 disease.
1:35
Elsewhere in the peripheral zone, as we
1:36
continue to scroll, we come to another
1:39
area of well-defined low T2 signal, right?
1:43
It looks like you can almost
1:44
pluck it right off of the picture.
1:47
There is a corresponding area of diffusion restriction.
1:50
Again, it's a black hole.
1:51
It's kind of hard to see, but it looks like someone's
1:53
taken a bite out of the, uh, peripheral zone, and
1:56
there's not a lot of distortion, so I think it's
1:58
reasonable to say this is a real, uh, lesion.
2:01
The ADC was well below 1,000, as the text will tell you.
2:04
It is focally bright on the high B-value
2:06
image, so again, it measures less than 1.5 centimeters,
2:09
so its diffusion characteristics
2:12
give it a PI-RAD score of 4, its T2
2:14
characteristics give it a PI-RAD score of 4.
2:17
The diffusion characteristics outweigh that.
2:19
You get the total PI-RADS score of 4.
2:21
Um, it does kind of have a broad bulge against the capsule,
2:25
but there's no evidence there's macroscopic abnormal tissue
2:28
on the other side of the capsule.
2:29
This was biopsied and also, I believe,
2:31
was a Gleason 3 plus 4 neoplasm.
2:36
There's really no other area in this prostate peripheral
2:39
zone that looks like there's focal diffusion restriction.
2:42
The gland looks nice here, looks nice here.
2:45
Going all the way around.
2:47
When we look at the transition zone, it
2:48
has this normal heterogeneous nodular
2:51
appearance with high signal and low signal.
2:53
Here's a nice example of some thickened anterior stroma.
2:56
It has that typical appearance.
3:00
The central zone is, let's keep the
3:04
coronal up, let's see if we can find that.
3:06
Central zone is this tissue right here.
3:08
It looks normal.
3:09
There's a big utricle cyst in the central zone.
3:12
Uh, so this had two fairly typical PI-RADS for peripheral
3:17
zone lesions, which both biopsy to be significant neoplasm.
