Fig. 2 Conceptual schemes of the lobe category based on radical prostatectomy specimens: (A) lobe with no cancer, (B) lobe with indolent cancer, and (C) lobe with significant cancer. Small green area and large red area represent indolent and significant cancer foci, respectively. Small blue and orange circles represent neurovascular bundles.

Fig. 3 Flow diagram of the lobe category at pathologic examination of the radical prostatectomy specimens grouped according to the side-specific findings in diffusion-weighted imaging and 14-core biopsy. RP=radical prostatectomy; DWI=diffusion-weighted imaging; PBx=prostate biopsy; LNC=lobe with no cancer; LIC=lobe with indolent cancer; LSC=lobe with significant cancer.
