Magnetic resonance fingerprinting of the bladder is feasible in men with lower urinary tract symptoms
PURPOSE: To quantify bladder wall relaxation times in men without and with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) using three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF). MATERIALS AND METHODS: relaxation times. RESULTS: relaxation times were similar (86 ms vs. 62 ms, p = 0.4). Prostate and TZ volume, and BWT were similar in men without and with LUTS and DM. CONCLUSION: 3D MRF of the bladder is feasible, provides in-vivo tissue characterization of the bladder wall in men with LUTS.
