What is a Prostate MRI Scan?
An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan is a safe, painless, and non-invasive procedure that uses powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to create high-quality, cross-sectional images inside your body. It is a powerful diagnostic tool that does not use potentially harmful radiation, unlike X-rays or CT scans.
A prostate MRI scan uses this technology to provide detailed images of the prostate gland and surrounding pelvic structures, including the bladder and rectum. It is the gold standard for prostate imaging and is highly effective in identifying suspicious regions that may require further evaluation.
Why Choose a Private Prostate MRI Scan?
Prostate cancer is most closely associated with age, but a private prostate MRI scan is a valuable tool for any man over 40. You may also consider a scan if you have:
A family history of prostate cancer
Concerns about elevated PSA levels
Had an abnormal rectal exam
Persistent urinary issues, such as a frequent or unexplained need to urinate
What Can a Prostate MRI Scan Detect?
The detailed images from your scan will allow our consultant radiologists to detect a wide range of conditions and abnormalities:
Prostate Cancer: A prostate MRI is highly effective in identifying potential cancerous abnormalities and suspicious regions within the gland.
Prostate Size: The scan can detect a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate, known as BPH, which can cause urinary symptoms.
Lesions or Anomalies: We can identify any irregular growths, marks, or regions that may indicate the presence of infection, inflammation, or tumours.
Pelvic Tissue Health: The scan also provides an assessment of the surrounding pelvic structures, including the bladder, rectum, and seminal vesicles, for any irregularities.
The results of your scan will provide your physician with the crucial information needed to make an informed diagnosis and recommend the most appropriate next steps.
Preparing for Your Scan
Our Patient Care Team will ensure you are fully prepared for your appointment. Please inform us about your medical history, especially if you have any implants or conditions that might affect the scan, such as pacemakers, cochlear implants, artificial joints, or if you are pregnant or claustrophobic.
An elbow MRI scan takes approximately 40 minutes. We ask that you arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment to check in. You will be asked to remove any metal objects or jewellery and may be given a gown to wear.
