Radio-pathological correlation of normal prostatic anatomy. T2-weighted image MR image demonstrating the TZ with low signal intensity, surrounded by the PZ with high signal intensity. The prostate is limited by a pseudocapsule, seen as a thin low signal intensity rim (black arrows). Beyond its boundaries lies the periprostatic space (dashed line), containing fat (depicted as high-signal intensity), nerves, and vessels (tubular structures with low signal intensity). The correspondent histological specimen illustrates the prostatic capsule (red line) and the periprostatic space, containing fat, nerves, and vessels (Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E)).
