Prostate MRI: when accurate monitoring leads to better outcomes
If you’re in the active surveillance or watchful waiting phase of your prostate cancer diagnosis, the next step in monitoring doesn’t have to be painful. Our unique prostate MRI is incredibly accurate—nearly twice as accurate as a biopsy—and completely painless. The prostate MRI is performed on state-of-the-art equipment and combines two advanced technologies: high resolution detailed pictures produced by the MRI and sophisticated computerized modeling of blood flow to your prostate gland. The result: a three-dimensional color map of the prostate gland that displays any potential tumor sites.
What can I expect during the prostate MRI exam?
MRI uses a powerful but harmless magnetic field and radio frequency pulses to produce images of the inside of your body. During the MRI, you will lie on the exam table as it enters a magnetic field. You will hear repeated drum-like knocking sounds as the scans are recorded. These sounds can be quite loud, but they are normal. You will be given the option of listening to satellite radio during your scan to create a more calming experience. Our staff will explain every step of the procedure and ensure you are as comfortable as possible!
