MRI scan to study prostate and urinary symptoms
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to look at the prostate and bladder in people with or without lower urinary tract symptoms (like trouble peeing). The goal is to see if MRI can help doctors better understand these symptoms and guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have been told you have BPH (enlarged prostate) or are having lower urinary tract symptoms (like trouble starting, weak flow, or frequent urination) — or you are a healthy volunteer with no such symptoms.
- You do not have any metal implants, a pacemaker, or other reason you cannot have an MRI.
- You have not had a urinary tract infection or been unable to pee in the last 4 weeks.
- You do not have a nerve-related disease besides diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes).
- If you have diabetes, you will not receive a contrast dye during the MRI.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses special MRI scans to look at the muscle ring that controls urination and the base of the prostate. It may help doctors understand how these areas change with conditions like enlarged prostate or prostate cancer treatment.
This trial studies special MRI images to learn how well they can find prostate cancer before treatment. It may help doctors choose better next steps during biopsy or during active surveillance.
This study uses MRI scans to look at bladder tumors in detail before surgery. The goal is to see if MRI can accurately show how deep the tumor has grown, which may help doctors plan the best treatment.
This study tests a new urine test combined with an MRI to find prostate cancer early. It may help avoid unnecessary biopsies.
This study uses MRI scans to better see and diagnose tumors in the upper urinary tract (the tubes connecting your kidneys to your bladder). If you have a suspicious area seen on a CT scan, an MRI might help doctors tell if it is a true tumor and how deep it goes, which could guide your treatment.
This study enrolls men who may have prostate cancer but do not yet have a diagnosis. It uses prostate MRI along with blood and urine tests to see if specific signals can help identify prostate cancer sooner.
