Received October 12, 1998; revision requested November 13; revision received March 19, 1999; accepted April 29. M.v.d.G. supported by Dutch Cancer Society grant KUN 95-1016.

The authors investigated the feasibility of a multisection proton magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopic imaging technique for the acquisition of metabolic information in the human prostate. Multisection MR spectroscopic imaging was performed of a citrate phantom and of the prostates of eight adult volunteers. High-quality proton MR spectra and citrate metabolite maps of the prostate were obtained with this method.

Index terms: Magnetic resonance (MR), spectroscopy, 844.12145 • Prostate, MR, 844.12141, 844.12145 • Prostate, neoplasms, 844.30
