PIDS maps provide a spatially resolved quantitative quality assessment for prostate DWI. Average PIDS over the entire prostate were similar for the ERC and NERC cohorts, and did not differ significantly across prostate zones. However, for many of the patients, PIDS was focally much higher in specific prostate zones. PIDS assessment can guide Radiologist's evaluation of images and the development of improved DWI sequences.
