DIAGNOSTIC PROSTATE MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING AT 3 TESLA WITH AN ENDORECTAL COI

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。子项目及 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。 本研究的目的是开发和优化3特斯拉成像的前列腺与直肠内线圈沿着与后处理技术，以推进我们的前列腺研究计划在明尼苏达大学。在这个初始队列中的影像学研究将用于协调工作，并确定涉及放射学，泌尿学，治疗放射学和病理学的未来研究。其目标是更好地区分和定位重要的癌症，并开发改进治疗计划和监测治疗的方法。

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 goal of this study is to develop and optimize 3 Tesla imaging of the prostate with an endorectal coil along with post processing techniques to advance our prostate research program at the University of Minnesota. Imaging studies in this initial cohort will be used to coordinate efforts and define future studies involving radiology, urology, therapeutic radiology and pathology. The goal will be to better distinguish and localize significant cancers and to develop methods to improve treatment planning and monitor therapy.
