The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of whole-body diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (WB-DW- MRI) in detecting metastases by comparing the results with those from choline-positron emission tomography-computed tomography (choline-PET/CT) in patients with metastatic/oligometastatic prostate cancer. Patients with this disease profile who could benefit from treatment with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) were selected and their responses to these techniques were rated.
