Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The accuracy (sensitivity and specificity) of PSMA PET/MRI in detecting metastatic or locally recurrent lesion in participants with biochemical recurrence post primary treatment of prostate cancer. The results of the PSMA PET/MRI scan will be compared to other imaging modality available e.g. staging CT, bone scan or standard MRI of the recurrence site which is needed for clinical management. The results of the PSMA PET/MRI scan will also be compared to the histology report of the PSMA PET/MRI positive specimen if there is a clinical need to take out the PET/MRI positive tissue. [After the PSMA PET/MRI has been performed or the PSMA PET/MRI positive specimens have been histopathologically analysed.]
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The utility of hybrid PET/MRI scan compared to standard imaging modalities in altering the management of patients from the standard of care by review of medical records and by interview with treating physician.[At the end of the study]
