CHESS suppresses fat signal artifact and facilitates discrimination between ventral and dorsal-lateral lobes. A: T2- weighted MRI. A': Magnification of the central 64 × 64 pixel square, indicated by the white box in A. White arrow in A and black arrows in A' illustrate the shift of the signal derived from fat. The locations of the prostate (P), ureter (U) and abdominal fat (F) are indicated. B: T2-weighted image acquired using CHESS. B': Magnification as in A'. White arrows indicate ventral prostate (VP) and dorsal-lateral prostate (DLP). C: Volume of the VP (solid bars) and DLP (grey bars) of normal mice determined using CHESS images, as in Figure 1F.
