Feasibility of OmnEcoil System for Integrated Endorectal MRI and Transrectal MRI-Targeted Biopsy of the Prostate

Trial Status: temporarily closed to accrual

This clinical trial tests whether it is feasible to use the OmnEcoil system for transrectal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to visualize and biopsy suspicious lesions in the prostate. The OmnEcoil device combines an endorectal coil (a type of wire placed within the rectum during diagnostic endorectal MRI to take better images of the prostate) with an endorectal probe. The OmnEcoil system is designed to allow for MRI to be used at the same time to image the prostate and aid in the biopsy of the suspected prostate cancer. Usually, these are performed as two separate events at two separate times.
