Read our Prostate Cancer research guide →This study is testing whether a newer type of MRI scan—called high-resolution diffusion weighted imaging (hrDWI)—can detect prostate cancer better than the standard MRI scan currently used. The research team believes that the newer imaging technique produces clearer, less blurry pictures of the prostate, which could help doctors spot cancer more accurately.
Standard prostate MRI scans, while helpful, often suffer from image quality problems like blurriness and noise that can make it harder for doctors to spot small cancers or distinguish cancer from normal tissue. This study aims to solve that problem by testing whether a newer imaging technology can provide clearer pictures and ultimately improve cancer detection rates.

Your participation would primarily involve having already completed (or completing) an MRI scan of your prostate that includes both the standard imaging technique and the newer high-resolution technique. The researchers will then review your scan images and medical records to compare how well each imaging method shows any prostate abnormalities. There are no medications to take, and no additional procedures beyond the MRI scan itself.
