MRI Scan
Duration
45 min
3T MRI of the minor pelvis including bladder, uterus/ovaries or prostate/seminal vesicles, rectum, and pelvic lymph nodes. With contrast for enhanced tissue characterization.
The pelvic MRI provides detailed cross-sectional imaging of the pelvic organs and surrounding structures using the 3T platform. In female patients, the examination evaluates the uterus (endometrium, myometrium, cervix), ovaries, fallopian tubes, and parametrial tissues. In male patients, the focus includes the prostate, seminal vesicles, and prostatic urethra. Both sexes receive assessment of the bladder wall, rectum, pelvic sidewall musculature, and inguinal and pelvic lymph node stations. The contrast-enhanced protocol at 1,450 PLN includes pre- and post-gadolinium sequences that improve characterization of masses, distinguish benign from potentially malignant lesions, and assess tissue vascularity. This is particularly important for staging gynaecological and colorectal malignancies, evaluating complex ovarian cysts, and characterizing endometrial pathology. Common indications include pelvic pain investigation, endometriosis mapping, fibroid assessment before surgery, ovarian mass characterization, rectal cancer staging, and bladder tumour evaluation.
