Biopsy-proven prostate cancer;
Age = 18 years;
Written informed consent has been provided.
Newly-diagnosed prostate cancer (Staging Population):
Patient has not undergone any form of treatment for his disease;
Non-low risk disease. He must have at least one of the following features: prostate specific antigen (PSA) = 10.0 ng/ml within 8 weeks prior to randomisation; Gleason score = 7; clinical stage = T2b.
Suspected recurrent prostate cancer (Restaging Population):
Patient has undergone local radical treatment;
Within the 8 weeks prior to randomisation, the PSA level must be = 0.5 ng/ml and rising (post-operatively) or a PSA level of 2 ng/mL or more above the nadir PSA level (post-radiotherapy).
Participant has undergone, within 8 weeks prior randomisation, a diagnostic imaging(DI) procedure for the staging (N-staging or M-staging) or restaging of his prostate cancer;
A history of other active malignancy within the last 5 years, with exception of non-melanoma skin cancer;
Presently having androgen deprivation therapy started less than 6 months ago;

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Primary Outcome 1: First-line imaging utility: change (or not) between management plan after the first-line imaging and management plan after second-line alternative imaging[Timepoint: within 8 weeks from randomisation<br>The primary endpoint will be assessed once. The data for the primary endpoint assessment will be collected after the first-line imaging for all participants, and after the second-line imaging for participants who have the second-line imaging performed. The staging or restaging process should be completed within 8 weeks.]
