MRI of the prostate gland is a high-precision diagnostic method that allows detailed visualization of the prostate structure and detection of inflammatory, oncological, and other pathological changes without the use of X-ray radiation.
When is MRI of the prostate required?
In cases of suspected inflammatory diseases (prostatitis), tumors, cysts, or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). When there are urinary disorders, perineal pain, or sexual dysfunction. For diagnosis and follow-up of prostate cancer, including disease staging. During preparation for surgery, radiation therapy, or hormone therapy.
How is the examination performed?
The patient is positioned inside a magnetic resonance scanner, where imaging of the prostate gland is performed. In some cases, a contrast agent is used to improve visualization of tumors and vascular changes. The examination lasts approximately 30–40 minutes, is painless, and does not involve radiation exposure.
