NCT ID NCT05055843
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new 3D MRI technique to see if it can detect prostate cancer as well as or better than standard MRI, without needing an endorectal coil. It involves 33 men with untreated prostate cancer who are scheduled for surgery. The goal is to improve imaging comfort and accuracy.
