Non-invasive MRI-based assessment of reactive stromal grade in prostate cancer using diffusion kurtosis imaging and stretched-exponential model

Abstract Objectives Reactive stroma plays a pivotal role in the genesis, progression, and metastasis of prostate cancer (PCa). Higher reactive stromal grade (RSG) generally portends a poorer prognosis. The aim of the study is non-invasively evaluate RSG by preoperative mono-exponential model, stretc...
