Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study will assess and compare the diagnostic performances and image quality of two WB 3D T1-weighted MR imaging sequences for bone and node staging in patients with prostate cancer : the FSE sequence and a gradient echo (GE) sequence. The latter sequence's main feature is its acquisition time of approximately 1.5 minutes, compared to 18 min for the FSE sequence, reducing the exam's acquisition time, patient discomfort and increasing machine availability.

- description
- A 3D T1-weighted GE mDixon MR imaging sequence will be added to the routine 3D T1-weighted FSE sequence. mDixon sub-sequences (Fat and In Phase) are compared to 3D T1-weighted FSE in terms of diagnostic accuracy for M and N staging in prostate cancer patients: Fat, In Phase, Fat+In Phase and the routine 3D T1 will be analyzed separately, blindly and randomly.

- description
- Sensitivity, sensibility, positive and negative Predictive Values (PV) will be calculated with the results of each reading, and compared. The physical parameters of the different techniques will also be compared (Signal-to-noise ratio, contrast-to-noise ratio, ...).
