PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To develop and evaluate quantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI analysis techniques that minimize patient- and scanner-specific variabilities in the calculation of quantitative parameters.
II. To develop and evaluate diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) methods that reduce prostate geometric distortion due to patient- and scanner-specific susceptibility and eddy current effects.
III. To develop and evaluate multi-class deep learning models that systematically integrate quantitative multi-parametric (mp)-MRI features for accurate detection and classification of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa).
OUTLINE:
RETROSPECTIVE: Patients' medical records are reviewed.
PROSPECTIVE: Patients undergo additional 3 Tesla (T) MRI imaging over 30 minutes before, during, or after their standard of care 3T MRI for a total of 1.5 hours.
