| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The main object of the trial is to assess the diagnostic value of functional MRI (T2+DCE MRI) for the detection of prostate cancer (on the basis of 16 prostate segments) and to show superiority in the accuracy to detect prostate cancer compared to conventional T2 MRI (SOR: histopathology);Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of the trial are: Secondary objectives: • To assess the value of functional MRI for identification of the tumor with the largest diameter (reference tumor; only patients with multiple tumors in the prostate) • To assess the minimum tumor size detectable in MRI • To assess the value of functional MRI for correct T-staging (T2 vs. T3) • To assess the diagnostic confidence of the MRI diagnosis ;Primary end point(s): Accuracy for detection of prostate cancer, per segment; T2 vs. T2+DCE-MRI | — |
