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.
Who can take part
- You are a man getting an MRI of your pelvis, seminal vesicles, or prostate for a medical reason.

- You agree to sign a consent form if needed.

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 whether using special MRI scans to map nerves before surgery helps keep erectile function after prostate removal. It may help men who are having surgery for prostate cancer and want to preserve sexual function.
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.
This study checks whether a detailed MRI method can help find prostate cancer earlier in people considered high risk. You may be asked to get an MRI and help the team see if it works well as a screening test.
