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利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 这项研究的目标是开发和优化使用直肠内线圈和后处理技术的3特斯拉前列腺成像，以推进我们在明尼苏达大学的前列腺研究项目。这一初始队列中的影像研究将用于协调努力，并确定未来涉及放射学、泌尿学、治疗放射学和病理学的研究。目标将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.
