Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging or DCE-MRI and diffusion-weighted imaging or DWI, may provide images of prostate cancer or any cancer that remains after biopsy.

PURPOSE: This trial studies repeated DCE-MRI and DWI in patients diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* Determine the test-retest performance, assessed by the repeatability coefficient \[RC\] of K\^trans and gadolinium curve (IAUGC90\^bn) and measured by median pixel values of the whole prostate.

* Determine the test-retest performance, assessed by the RC of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) metrics D(t) and measured by median pixel values of the whole prostate.

Secondary

* Determine the test-retest performance, assessed by RC of K\^trans, IAUGC90\^bn, and D(t), and measured by median pixel values of the dominant prostate tumor.

* Determine the effect of reader on the RC of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and DWI metrics for whole prostate and tumor nodule target lesion.

* Determine whether T1-dependent or T1-independent methods for gadolinium quantification in DCE-MRI studies produce differing values for the RC for K\^trans and IAUGC90\^bn.

* Explore the correlation between DCE-MRI and DWI metrics for both whole prostate and dominant tumor nodule as target lesions. (Exploratory)

* Determine whether the "coffee break" approach toward test-retest analysis of quantitative DWI provides a reasonable estimate of the RC of D(t)of the whole prostate, using as the gold standard the RC of D(t) obtained between the two separate MRI visits. (Exploratory)

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to MRI vendor used (Siemens vs GE vs Philips).

Patients receive gadolinium-based contrast IV and undergo DCE-MRI\* and DWI 2 imaging at 2-14 days apart prior to treatment initiation. A central reader evaluation of the 2 successive scans is then conducted.

NOTE: \*At the discretion of the participating sites, the initial MRI visit (MRI SCAN 1) may be supplemented with endorectal-coil imaging per institutional norms.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Repeatability assessment of DCE-MRI metrics Ktrans and blood-normalized initial area under the gadolinium curve (IAUGC90bn) and the DWI metric D(t)2 to 14 Days

The repeatability coefficient (RC) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) will be estimated for each metric \[ ktrans, IAUGC90bn\] using the method of Barnhart and Barboriak, 2009

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Test-retest performance, assessed by the RC of Ktrans, IAUGC90bn, and D(t), and measured by median pixel values of the prostate tumor2 to 14 Days

The repeatability coefficient (RC) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) will be estimated for each metric using the method of Barnhart and Barboriak, 2009

Comparison between T1-dependent or T1-independent methods for gadolinium quantification produce differing values for the RC for Ktrans2 to 14 Days

The repeatability coefficient (RC) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) will be estimated for each metric ktrans\] and each method \[ independent and dependent\] using the method of Barnhart and Barboriak, 2009
