Summary: The effect on diffusion-weighted (DWI) MRI was evaluated of 0.28×10 mm Gold Anchor fiducial markers, implanted with a line shape.
Conclusions: Gold fiducial markers demonstrated negligible effect on DWI quality. Therefore, it appears that the use of these markers does not preclude the optimal utilization of MRI, particularly DWI, during follow-up in prostate cancer patients.
