MRI of the pelvic organs is a highly accurate diagnostic method that allows visualization of the urinary bladder, prostate, uterus, ovaries, rectum, and surrounding tissues. This technique is used to detect inflammatory, oncological, structural, and functional disorders without the use of ionizing (X-ray) radiation.
When is MRI of the pelvic organs required?
The examination is indicated in cases of lower abdominal pain, urinary disorders, and bleeding of unclear origin. MRI is used to diagnose tumors, cysts, uterine fibroids, and endometriosis in women. In men, it is performed to detect benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostate cancer, and inflammatory diseases. In oncology, MRI of the pelvis is used when neoplasms or metastases are suspected, as well as to assess treatment effectiveness.
How is the examination performed?
The patient is positioned inside a magnetic resonance imaging scanner, where the pelvic organs are examined. In some cases, a contrast agent is administered to improve visualization of tumors and vascular structures. The procedure takes approximately 30–40 minutes, is painless, and does not involve radiation exposure.
