An exemplary system, method and computer-accessible medium for generating a denoised magnetic resonance (MR) image(s) of a portion(s) of a patient(s) can be provided, which can include, for example, generating a plurality of MR images of the portion(s), where a number of the MR images can be based on a number of MR coils in a MR apparatus used to generate the MR images, generating MR imaging information by denoising a first one of the MR images based on another one of the MR images, and generating the denoised MR image(s) based on the MR imaging information. The number of the MR coils can be a subset of a total number of the MR coils in the MR apparatus. The number of the MR coils can be a total number of the MR coils in the MR apparatus. The MR information can be generated by denoising each of the MR images based on the other one of the MR images.

An exemplary system, method and computer-accessible medium for characterizing a microstructure of a prostate of a patient can be provided, which can include, for example, generating a magnetic resonance (MR) radiofrequency (RF) pulse(s) by varying (i) a diffusion time, (ii) a diffusion gradient direction, (iii) a diffusion gradient pulse width, or (iv) a diffusion gradient pulse shape, applying the MR RF pulse(s) to the prostate of the patient, receiving a resultant MR signal from the prostate of the patient that can be based on the MR RF pulse(s), determining information regarding a plurality of compartments for the prostate from the resultant MR signal by varying an echo time or a mixing time, and characterizing the microstructure for each of the compartments by applying a microstructural model(s) to each of the compartments.
