FAQs

What is MRI Prostate – Plain?

MRI Prostate – Plain is a non-contrast MRI examination that provides detailed images of the prostate gland and surrounding pelvic structures using magnetic fields and radio waves. It helps evaluate a variety of prostate conditions without the need for an intravenous contrast agent.

Why is MRI Prostate – Plain performed?

This examination is performed to evaluate elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, prostate enlargement, urinary symptoms, suspected prostate abnormalities, and selected cases of prostate cancer assessment.

What structures are evaluated during this examination?

The examination evaluates the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, bladder neck, surrounding pelvic soft tissues, and nearby structures.

Can MRI Prostate – Plain detect prostate cancer?

MRI Prostate – Plain can identify areas that appear suspicious for prostate cancer, particularly when diffusion-weighted imaging is included. However, a prostate biopsy is usually required to confirm the diagnosis if cancer is suspected.

What is the difference between MRI Prostate – Plain and MRI Prostate – Contrast?

MRI Prostate – Plain is performed without contrast and is often sufficient for many clinical indications. MRI Prostate – Contrast includes a gadolinium-based contrast agent, which may provide additional information in selected cases, particularly during multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) for prostate cancer evaluation.
