What Is a Pelvic MRI?

A Pelvic MRI with and without contrast is an advanced, non-invasive imaging examination to evaluate all organs, soft tissues, blood vessels, and structures inside the pelvic region for both females and males. MRI uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to produce high-resolution images without radiation.

This examination is the gold standard for detailed pelvic evaluation because it provides excellent soft tissue contrast and multi-planar imaging. Performing the scan with and without contrast allows doctors to assess anatomy, detect disease, and evaluate tissue behavior with the highest accuracy.

We perform this scan using an advanced 3 Tesla MRI, which provides very clear and detailed images. 3Tesla MRI makes superior image quality, faster scan time, and precise diagnosis. Therefore, this advanced MRI helps doctors see the pelvis area anatomy clearly and plan the correct treatment.

Why Pelvic MRI With and Without Contrast Is Important

Pelvic MRI is essential for diagnosing a wide range of gynecological and urological conditions. The combination of non-contrast and contrast-enhanced sequences allows radiologists to:

Pelvic MRI shows soft tissues better than X-ray or CT scan. It helps doctors see organs clearly and detect small abnormalities.

This test helps to:

• Find the cause of pelvic pain
• Detect tumors or masses
• Check inflammation or infection
• Differentiate benign and cancerous lesions
• Stage cancer and check spread
• Plan surgery or treatment
• Monitor response to treatment

This examination is widely used for women’s health, men’s health, oncology, fertility assessment, and chronic pelvic pain evaluation.

Female Pelvic MRI – What It Evaluates

A female pelvic MRI with and without contrast provides detailed assessment of all reproductive and pelvic organs.

Female Pelvic Organs Seen on 3Tesla MRI

• Uterus and endometrium
• Cervix
• Ovaries and adnexa
• Fallopian tubes
• Vagina
• Bladder and urethra
• Rectum and sigmoid colon
• Pelvic muscles Ligaments
• Pelvic lymph nodes
• Blood vessels

Common reasons for Female Pelvic MRI

• Pelvic pain (acute or chronic)
• Uterine fibroids
• Endometriosis
• Adenomyosis
• Ovarian cysts or masses
• Abnormal vaginal bleeding
• Infertility evaluation Congenital uterine anomalies
• Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
• Gynecological cancers (uterine, cervical, ovarian) Cancer staging and
• follow-up after surgery

Male Pelvic MRI – What It Evaluates

A male pelvic MRI with and without contrast is equally important for evaluating the male pelvic organs and surrounding structures with high precision.

Male Pelvic Organs Seen on MRI

• Prostate gland ( not including prostate protocols)
• Seminal vesicles Vas deferens
• Bladder
• Urethra
• Rectum
• Pelvic floor muscles
• Pelvic lymph nodes
• Blood vessels
• soft tissues

Common Indications for Male Pelvic MRI

• Prostate evaluation and cancer detection ( however if the issue is processed then Prostate MRI with advanced 3tesla Mri should be done because the protocols are different it should be done multi planner and multi parametric )
• Chronic pelvic pain
• Male infertility
• Pelvic masses
• Post-surgical assessment Rectal or pelvic tumors
• Cancer staging and follow -up

Pelvic MRI plays a crucial role in prostate imaging, especially when contrast-enhanced sequences are included.

Pelvis MRI Positioning

Patient will be positioned feet first. Depends on the patients height , Head , shoulders and sometimes chest will be completely out of machine during the procedure .Our expert nurse assists patient. We have to admit , all our claustrophobic Patients never experience any discomfort at this widest bore 3 Tesla MRI. listening to your favorite music is another advantage of this new wide core machine. The procedure takes time only 30 minutes as the machine is super fast with high image quality and high tesla.

All claustrophobic patients had successfully done their Pelvis MRI so far without experiencing any phobia. On top of that, the timing is less compare to other mri and patient can tolerate easily .
