Novel Synthetic T2W MR Imaging and Spin Parameter Mapping Techniques for Screening Prostate Cancer (NCT05055843)

Novel Synthetic T2W MR Imaging and Spin Parameter Mapping Techniques for Prostate Cancer Without an Endorectal Coil

🔵 Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic 🩺 Clinical Procedure Protocol Sponsor: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This clinical trial studies examines a 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared to standard MRI imaging techniques in screening patients with prostate cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI, may help find and diagnose prostate cancer. Computer systems that allow doctors to create a 3-dimensional (3-D) picture of the tumor may help in planning.

Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (5 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (8 items).

Location: M D Anderson Cancer Center — Houston, Texas

Age range: 18 Years

🧪 Interventions in This Study

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PROCEDURE)
