Papers・Description	The purpose of this study was to compare diffusion tensor imaging using the local look technique and sensitivity encoding for tractography of the periprostatic neurovascular bundle. We compared the surrounding tissues of the prostate in eight healthy volunteers. The results of tractography in terms of the numbers of fibers and the fractional anisotropy map were evaluated. Distortion was evaluated using the dice similarity coefficient between isotropic diffusion images created from diffusion tensor images and T2-weighted images. Thenumber of lines in tractography was significantly greater in diffusion tensor imaging using the local look technique (p < 0.001).
