This retrospective study aims to investigate the application value of the quantitative relaxation maps derived from synthetic MRI in the diagnosis and invasion assessment of peripheral zone (PZ) prostate cancer (PCa). 88 patients (45 experimental & 43 control) were scanned using the magnetic resonance image compilation (MAGiC) sequence and the quantitative relaxation metrics were calculated and compared. The results demonstrate that quantitative T1 and T2 values are significant indicators for distinguishing PZ PCa from non-cancerous PZ. T2 value has a similar diagnostic performance to apparent diffusion coefficient value and has potential clinical value in evaluating the invasiveness of PCa.
