: The same cohort of this study was included in a former study by Wang et al in 2018 using complex post-processing methods (T2* maps and water resonance peak height images) to evaluate the feasibility of T2*-weighted MRI for identification of ablation zones after FLA of prostate cancers. We, however, are using T2*W MRI without any additional post-processing to reduce acquisition times. That paper was cited and discussed in this study.
