All MRI examinations were performed on a 1.5-T machine using a prostate-specific protocol for the prostatitis group and different protocols that included high-resolution small field of view T2-weighted (T2WI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), for the control group, depending on the clinical indication.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Four different T2WI intensity patterns were observed: hyperintense homogenous; slightly to moderate homogenous hypointense; inhomogeneous; and marked hypointense. We found statistically significant differences between the two analyzed groups regarding mean ADC values ( P&lt;0.001), distribution of T2WI intensity patterns ( P&lt;0.0001), and the presence of dilated venous plexus ( P=0.0007). No differences were found regarding prostate volume ( P=0.15). In multivariate analysis, all four analyzed imaging parameters were independent predictors of chronic prostatitis (R\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      =0.67; P&lt;0.0001). Considered together, an age &gt;28 years, an inhomogeneous or marked hypointense T2WI intensity pattern (types 3 and 4), an ADC value \u22641250, and the presence of dilated venous plexus are able to predict CP with an AUC of 93% (sensitivity=85.1%, specificity=88.4%).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
