About this study

This pilot clinical trial studies how well magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) with hyperpolarized carbon 13 (13C) pyruvate alone or in combination with 13C 15N2 Urea works in finding prostate cancer that exhibits poorly differentiated or undifferentiated cells (high-grade) and that is restricted to the site of origin, without evidence of spread (localized) in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy. Diagnostic procedures, such as MRSI with hyperpolarized carbon (13C) pyruvate, may aid in the diagnosis of prostate cancer and in discriminating high-grade from low-grade prostate cancer and benign adjacent prostate tissue
