New MRI technique could sharpen prostate cancer detection
NCT ID NCT05047965
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a modified MRI scan (called Dixon sequencing) can produce clearer images of prostate cancer than the standard MRI. Researchers will compare the two methods in 65 men who have prostate cancer and are scheduled for prostate removal. The goal is to see if the new technique helps doctors find tumors more accurately.
