MRI study of prostate and urinary sphincter
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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.
This study uses a special kind of MRI to better “map” prostate cancer inside the prostate. Researchers compare the MRI results with the detailed tissue exam after prostate surgery to see how accurate the imaging is.
This study tests a new MRI platform to better identify prostate issues before a biopsy. It is for people with elevated PSA whose doctor is considering a biopsy.
This study uses a special type of MRI to look at suspicious spots in the prostate. It may help doctors decide if you need a biopsy or can safely avoid one.
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.
