Evaluation of the Potential of Endorectal MRI for the Staging and Recurrence of Prostate Cancer


The objective of this study is to evaluate of the potential of endorectal 3T MRI for the
staging of prostate cancer before prostatectomy or recurrence of prostate cancer after
prostatectomy


Inclusion Criteria:



- Age of patients: up to 80 years.

examination.

ferromagnetic materials or foreign objects, and known intolerance to the MRI contrast
agent (e.g. Gadolinium or Dotarem)

- Individuals who are not able or willing to tolerate the required prolonged stationary
supine position during imaging (approximately 1 hr.)

- Any rectal pathology preventing probe insertion, (as active proctitis, active
ulcerative colitis, fissure ani)

- Any spinal pathology that prohibits maintaining supine position for an hour

- Patients with documented myocardial infarction within one month of protocol entry,
and patients with cardiac pacemakers

- Severe cerebrovascular disease (multiple CVA or CVA within 6 months)
