The purpose of the present study is to find out if MRI techniques examining (1) the motion of water molecules in the prostate (diffusion sensitive MRI), (2) the difference in blood flow to the prostate (dynamic contrast enhanced MRI), and (3) differences in chemical composition of the prostate (MR spectroscopy), can be used to detect prostate cancer early and non-invasively. Localization of the cancer within the prostate would be of particular importance in focal cryoablation of prostate carcinoma which we hope to improve as a result of this project. Additional aim of the study is to correlate expression of genes believed to pay a role in prostate cancer with MRI findings.
