Abstract
D-Histo, a non-invasive diagnostic method, renovated from diffusion basis spectrum imaging (DBSI) is provided for quantitatively detecting and distinguishing inflammation from solid tumors, heart and nerve injury. For example, the D-Histo methods disclosed herein provide an accurate diagnosis of prostate cancer, distinguishing it from prostatitis and BPH that missed by currently available methods of diagnosing prostate cancer (multiparameter MRI, needle biopsy). The disclosed D-Histo method also provides metrics to reflect reversible vs. irreversible damages in heart and central/peripheral nerves. For central and peripheral nerves, D-Histo also provides metrics to assess nerve functionality. The at least one D-Histo biomarker obtained using diffusion weighted MRI has excellent test-retest stability, high sensitivity to disease progression and close correlation with currently available techniques.
