Prostate cancer (PCa) is a significant health problem in the male population of the Western
world. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), an emerging medical imaging technique
sensitive to mechanical properties of biological tissues, detects PCa based on abnormally
high stiffness and viscosity values. Yet, the origin of these changes in tissue properties and
how they correlate with histopathological markers and tumor aggressiveness are largely
unknown, hindering the use of tumor biomechanical properties for establishing a …
