Prostate MRI

MRI of the prostate is an emerging tool for the early imaging of prostate cancer. It also a useful tool in diagnosing enlarged prostate as well as infections such as prostatitis and prostate abscesses.

MRI technology does not emit radiation- rather, it uses radiofrequencies and powerful magnets to align the hydrogen atoms in your body to produce an extremely detailed internal image of your prostate and surrounding tissues.

You may be a Candidate for prostate MRI if:
  • You’ve had a negative prior trans‐rectal ultrasound‐guided (TRUS) biopsy and a continued elevated prostate specific antigen (PSA) level.
  • You’ve had a positive digital rectal examination (DRE) and a negative trans‐rectal ultrasound guided (TRUS) biopsy.
