Summary

This trial is testing whether using MRI to monitor tissue response during and after radiotherapy for prostate cancer is feasible, and if so, whether it can provide more information than simple anatomic information.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men with confirmed prostate cancer who are planning to receive external radiation treatment. It's not suitable for those with a cardiac pacemaker, metal implants, chronic kidney disease, an inability to undergo MRI scans, or allergies to gadolinium-based contrast agents.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the use of advanced MRI techniques like MRS, DWI, and DCE during and after radiotherapy to monitor tissue response in prostate cancer patients. The goal is to see if these MRIs can provide early information on tumor recurrence and normal tissue damage.
What are the potential side effects?
There are generally no side effects associated directly with undergoing MRI imaging itself; however, there may be risks related to lying still for long periods during the scan or reactions in those allergic to contrast agents used.
