  • * Patients with no prior diagnosis of prostate cancer, who are planning to undergo prostate biopsy as clinical standard of care ("early detection cohort")
  • * Including those men with:
  • * an elevated PSA and no prior biopsy
  • * an elevated PSA and a negative prior biopsy
  • * Patients with a prior diagnosis of prostate cancer, who are currently managed with active surveillance, who are planning to undergo biopsy as clinical standard of care ("active surveillance cohort")
  • * Patients with any clinical contraindication to MRI
  • * Those with metallic implants, such as pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators
  • * Those with cochlear implants
  • * Those with claustrophobia not relieved with medications (patients with claustrophobia who do not need medications for the scan or whose claustrophobia can be managed with medication, are eligible to participate)
  • * Those who cannot lie flat for over 1 hour
