White arrow in A and black arrows in illustrate the shift of the signal derived from fat. The locations of the prostate (P), ureter (U) and abdominal fat (F) are indicated. : T2-weighted image acquired using CHESS. : Magnification as in . White arrows indicate ventral prostate (VP) and dorsal-lateral prostate (DLP). : Volume of the VP (solid bars) and DLP (grey bars) of normal mice determined using CHESS images, as in Figure 1F
