Prostate Adenocarcinoma Prostate Carcinoma | Procedure: Magnetic Resonance Imaging | Not Applicable |
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine whether the image quality of the novel 3-dimensional (3D) T2-weighted imaging (T2W) synthetic imaging technique without endorectal coil is comparable to the 2-dimensional (2D) T2W imaging technique without endorectal coil.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate the qualitative diagnostic quality of the T2W images provided by the novel 3D technique, as determined by subjective scoring by experienced readers.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:
I. To investigate the feasibility of novel 3D synthetic imaging and multi-spin parameter mapping technique of prostate for the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa).

- To be assessed with scoring of quantitative image metrics in regions of prostate cancer and benign tissue [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year ]
Comparing the 2-dimensional (2D) T2W imaging technique without endorectal coil.
Scored from 1 to 5 with PI-RADS 1 indicating that csPCa is highly unlikely whereas a PI-RADS 5 score indicates that csPCa is highly likely to be present.
