PET/MRI for the Staging of Newly Diagnosed Prostate Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to gain understanding of how PET-MR (positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance imaging) using the substance 18F-DCFPyL (PyL) may help in diagnosing prostate cancer and in determining the stage of prostate cancer before surgery.
