3T pelvic MRI found nothing

After post op PSA rose to .3 eight months post op, I had 3T MRI in preparation for SRT. Nothing was found so Rad Oncologist will proceed to rad the prostate bed and review pathology to see where pos margin existed which may be where the little buggers are hiding out.
I guess it's good news that no Tumors are large enough to be seen?

I'm not sure a MRI can ever give us Gleason 9 guys really good news. If you were a Gleason 6 and something showed up on your MRI the RO could say, "Oh look! There it is. Now we know. Let's zap it!" But with Gleason 9 I'm not sure something big enough to be seen would ever be good news and tumors showing in some locations could be very bad news... which you didn't get... which is good... sort of.

Good luck with your SRT.

Apparently 3T MRI isn't very sensitive for small things, but has good specificity. If it sees even a hint of it, it's probably there.

My tumor load was pretty significant, all 6 cores positive on one side, and it was quite visible on the 3T MRI with contrast, Diffusion Weighted Imaging. Bulging capsule, extracapsular extension, neurovascular bundle involvement, all that fun stuff that just makes one's day. It did not show anything happening in seminal vesicles or lymph nodes, though the tables say I had a 40% likelihood of lymph node involvement. So, we zapped those too even though they didn't show on the 3T MRI. In summary, if seen, bad. If not seen, unknown, maybe bad, maybe good.

I presume the same pattern would hold for SRT application of it too.
