Comparing 3T and 7T MRI scans for prostate
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study compares two types of MRI scans — the standard 3T and a more powerful 7T — to see if the stronger one can give clearer pictures of suspicious prostate areas. If you are already having a prostate MRI, this could help improve detection of potential cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a man referred for a clinical prostate MRI at Shamir Medical Center.
- Agree to have an additional MRI scan at the Weizmann Institute using a more powerful 7 Tesla machine.
- Must not have any MRI safety issues, such as incompatible implants, a pacemaker, or severe claustrophobia.
- Must not have diabetes, high blood sugar, glucose intolerance, or high lactate levels.
- Must not have chronic kidney disease (with a low kidney function test, specifically GFR below 45).

This study is testing a very strong MRI machine (7-Tesla) to see how well it can take pictures of muscles, joints, bones, nerves, or the brain. It might help doctors see injuries or conditions more clearly compared to standard MRI machines.
This study compares two types of MRI scans – one at 3.0 Tesla and one at 5.0 Tesla – to see which is better at finding prostate cancer. If you are scheduled for a prostate biopsy, you may be asked to get both scans to help improve detection.
This study tests whether new MRI imaging methods can better identify and grade prostate cancer in men with elevated PSA levels. You would get an MRI scan to help doctors see if cancer is present and how aggressive it might be.
This study tests a new type of MRI scan (called TDDMRI) that looks at tiny details in prostate tissue to better detect cancer. If you are already getting a prostate MRI, this extra scan may help doctors find cancer more accurately.
This study tests a new, lower-strength MRI to see if it can give clearer images of the prostate, especially for men who have metal implants or who need a biopsy. It may help doctors monitor prostate health more safely and effectively.
This study tests if a special MRI measurement (ADC) can improve how well a standard MRI finds prostate cancer. If you have a suspicious MRI and are scheduled for a biopsy, this might help better understand your results.
