MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING OF THE PROSTATE AT 7 TESLA

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 7特斯拉前列腺成像平台的开发和评估将为研究前列腺癌的新方面提供潜在的工具。 据预测，更高的场强将提供光谱分辨率和增加的灵敏度，以评估在较低场下无法区分的代谢标志物，这些代谢标志物可用于阐明癌症治疗和进展的机制。该研究方案是开发方法和评估7 T在前列腺癌研究中的优势的组成部分。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The development and evaluation of a 7 Tesla prostate imaging platform will provide a potential tool for investigating new aspects of prostate cancer. It is predicted that the higher field strength will provide the spectroscopic resolution and increased sensitivity to evaluate metabolic markers not distinguishable at lower fields that can be used to elucidate the mechanisms of cancer treamtent and progression. This research protocol is an integral part of developing the methods and evaluating the advantages of 7T in the investigation of prostate cancer.
