Overview
Pelvic MRI uses high resolution T2 sequences in multiple planes with diffusion and contrast enhanced imaging for staging and local assessment.
Prostate Specific
Include T2 axial and sagittal diffusion and dynamic contrast sequences following PI RADS recommendations for lesion detection and targeted biopsy planning.
Gynecologic and Rectal
Use thin slice T2 and diffusion for tumor staging and add contrast for vascular assessment and treatment planning.
Positioning and Coils
Use pelvic phased array coils and consider endorectal coils for prostate when higher resolution is required and tolerated.
