  		Fig. 6. —71-year-old man with stage pT3 nonpalpable cancerous tumor. Axial fast spin-echo T2- weighted MR image shows asymmetry of neurovascular bundles. Left side has normal appearance (black arrows). Bundle on right side shows hypointensity (white arrows), indicating established capsular penetration with invasion of right neurovascular bundle.
