A recent study conducted by researchers from The Ohio State University in Columbus, OH suggests that the use of MRI without endorectal coil can detect prostate cancer and provide undistorted images with diagnostic image quality and accurate tumor localization.

According to experts High field MRI enables the acquisition of undistorted prostate images without endorectal coil. The high signal to noise ratio and the image quality of the prostate and the surrounding tissue may, in the future, allow doctors to detect prostate cancer at an earlier stage.
