Synthetic magnetic resonance imaging for primary prostate cancer evaluation: Diagnostic potential of a non-contrast-enhanced bi-parametric approach enhanced with relaxometry measurements

•Diagnostic performances of synthetic bpMRI and conventional bpMRI are comparable for primary PCa•Diagnostic performance of synthetic MRI variables are similar to that of DCE-MRI for csPCa in PZ•Synthetic bpMRI shows potential as a contrast agent-free method for primary PCa
