MR images of a 69-year-old man with prostate-specific antigen progression (PSA serum level 1.06 ng/mL) after radical retropubic prostatectomy, with suspected local recurrence. a Axial T2-weighted fast spin-echo (5525/109) and b axial T2-weighted fat saturated fast spin-echo image (5981/116) show a solid tissue on posterior perianastomotic location in front of the rectal wall at about 33 mm from the ureteral meatus which is hyperintense compared to pelvic muscles (white arrows). c Axial gradient-echo T1-weighted, d gradient-echo T1-weighted subtracted image and e DCE MR colour map showing a positive contrast enhancement of the abnormal tissue. f Diffusion weighted images with a b value of 1.000,g 3.000 s/mm2 and h ADC map show no diffusion restricted phenomena, consistent with residual glandular tissue
