mpMR imaging after EBRT

- Dominant role of the functional sequences of mpMRI

- on DWI: signal characteristics are similar to normal

setting with a focal hypointensity on the ADC map and

hyperintensity on high-b value imaging

- on DCE: although the vascularity of the overall

recurrences :

- retain their highly vascular network

- Show the early hyper-enhancement on DCE relative
