Two radiologists retrospectively evaluated MRI findings. Qualitative analysis included lesion location, morphology, and signal intensity (SI) patterns on T1-weighted (T1WI), T2-weighted (T2WI), and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). Quantitative analysis compared lesion size, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values, and T1WI SI ratios to both muscle and background prostate. Statistical comparisons were made using Fisher\u2019s exact test for qualitative data and the Mann\u2013Whitney U test for quantitative data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Hyperintensity on T1WI was significantly more frequent in GP (100%) than in PCa (11%; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). The lesion-muscle SI ratio on T1WI was also significantly higher in GP (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), whereas the lesion-background SI ratio was not (p\u2009=\u20090.054). Furthermore, a diffuse morphology was significantly more common in GP (45%) compared to PCa (12%; p\u2009=\u20090.014), and the distribution of lesion locations also differed significantly (p\u2009=\u20090.041).
