Thanks for your well explained reply. It's clear you did a lot of homework (nothing like a PCa diagnosis to provide motivation) and selected the best treatment decision based on your level of risk tolerance. I was curious about your 3T MRI...did you investigate the 1.5T vs 3.0T or was it simply the one your urologist ordered? I'm getting the sense that it's much more important to find a doctor with tons of experience in reading prostate MRI's than the power of the MRI machine that is used. However, I have read that 3T MRI scans are performed more quickly, so it seems to me that the potential for blurred images due to having to stay motionless for longer time in a 1.5T versus a shorter duration 3T would be an inherent advantage for 3T MRI's...if nothing else.
