Pelvic MRI incl. Prostate (3T Multiparametric)

Self-pay pelvic MRI at Sagena Frýdek-Místek covering the pelvic organs including the prostate. On the centre's 3T Magnetom VIDA, prostate imaging is performed multiparametrically — the modern standard for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer, localising suspicious zones before biopsy and staging known disease. The same examination assesses the bladder, rectum and pelvic soft tissues; for women it can evaluate the uterus and ovaries. Self-pay slots are typically available within 24–72 hours, far faster than public waiting lists for prostate MRI.

Multiparametric prostate MRI (mpMRI) has transformed prostate cancer diagnostics: instead of proceeding straight to systematic biopsy after an elevated PSA, men can first have an MRI that shows whether a suspicious lesion exists, where it is, and how suspicious it looks (PI-RADS scoring) — allowing targeted biopsy or, when the scan is clean, potentially avoiding biopsy altogether in consultation with a urologist. Sagena explicitly highlights the irreplaceable role of its 3T scanner in multiparametric prostate examination: the doubled field strength resolves the prostate's zonal anatomy and small lesions far better than 1.5T systems. **The multiparametric protocol** combines high-resolution T2-weighted anatomy, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI — improved on the VIDA by Deep Resolve AI reconstruction) and, where indicated, dynamic contrast-enhanced sequences. Together these characterise tissue cellularity and vascularity, the basis of PI-RADS lesion scoring used by urologists to plan targeted biopsies. **Beyond the prostate**, the examination covers the pelvis as listed: bladder wall, seminal vesicles, rectum and mesorectum, pelvic lymph nodes, and pelvic floor soft tissues. For female patients the same examination category serves uterine and ovarian assessment. **Who it suits:** men with elevated or rising PSA before first biopsy, men with a prior negative biopsy but persistent suspicion, active-surveillance patients needing follow-up, and staging of confirmed cancer; plus general pelvic indications in both sexes. Special positioning may be used and bowel preparation instructions are given when booking (an empty rectum improves image quality). **Booking and safety:** self-pay, no referral queue — slots from 24 hours, guaranteed within 72, online booking and payment. Standard MRI exclusions apply (pacemaker, neurostimulator, cochlear implant, eye metal, insulin pump, first-trimester pregnancy). Hip replacements older than 6 weeks are acceptable but cause local artefacts — report them when booking.
