Prostate spectroscopy with automatic DOT engine prototype. Automatic planning of saturation pulses, acquisition matrix, and field of view. Note precise delineation of the prostatic gland, which is seen within the automatic segmentation curve. a Axial image of the prostate gland with the surrounding white automatic segmentation curve precisely located at the margin of the prostate. b Axial image of the prostate gland showing all spectroscopic voxels inside the area delineated by the automatic segmentation curve. c Axial image of the prostate with saturation pulses around the prostate, which are accurately located at prostatic margins. d Sample spectrum of the mid-peripheral zone showing good diagnostic quality
