Clinical Trials
We are looking for men diagnosed with prostate cancer with no history of treatment to participate in the research study "Diagnostic Prostate Magnetic Resonance Research Imaging (MRI) at 3 Tesla" including 1.5 hours of preparation and 1.5 hours of imaging. A flexible balloon-type device will be inserted in your rectum to minimize motion of the prostate and allow high quality images to be obtained. Contrast will also be administered through an IV placed in your arm. This study is being conducted by Drs. Greg Metzger, Ken Koeneman, Robert Sweet and Lawrence Chinsoo Cho.
