BackgroundNoninvasive measures to evaluate the aggressiveness of prostate carcinoma (PCa) may benefit patients.PurposeTo assess the value of stretched-exponential and monoexponential diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for predicting the aggressiveness of PCa.Study TypeRetrospective study.SubjectsSeventy-five patients with PCa.Field Strength3T DWI examinations were performed using b-values of 0, 500, 1000, and 2000 s/mm(2).AssessmentThe research were based on entire-tumor histogram analysis and the reference standard was radical prostectomy.Statistical TestsThe correlation analysis was programmed with Spearman's rank-order analysis between the histogram variables and Gleason grade group (GG). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) regression was used to analyze the ability of these histogram variables to differentiate low-grade (LG) from intermediate/high-grade (HG) PCa.ResultsThe percentiles and mean of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and distributed diffusion coefficient (DDC) were correlated with GG (: 0.414-0.593), while there was no significant relation among value, skewnesses, and kurtosises with GG (:0.034-0.323). HG tumors (ADC:484136, 592139, 670144, 788146, 895 +/- 141mm(2)/s; DDC: 410 +/- 142, 532 +/- 172, 666 +/- 193, 786 +/- 196, 914 +/- 181mm(2)/s) had lower values in the 10(th), 25(th), 50(th), 75(th) percentiles and means than LG tumors (ADC: 644 +/- 779, 737 +/- 84, 836 +/- 83, 919 +/- 82, 997 +/- 107mm(2)/s; DDC: 552 +/- 82, 680 +/- 94, 829 +/- 112, 931 +/- 106, 1045 +/- 100mm(2)/s). However, there was no difference between LG and HG tumors in value (0.671 +/- 0.041 vs. 0.633 +/- 0.114), kurtosises (ADC 0.09 vs. 0.086; DDC -0.033 vs. -0.317), or skewnesses (ADC -0.036 vs. 0.073; DDC -0.063 vs. 0.136). The above statistics were P
