Pelvis MRI Protocol
8
Feb

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.

Pelvic Imaging

Feb

Overview

Pelvic imaging includes ultrasound CT and MRI for gynecologic urologic and oncologic indications. It evaluates masses pain and trauma. Imaging guides biopsy and surgical planning.

Gynecologic Applications

Ultrasound is first line for ovarian and uterine pathology. MRI provides detailed characterization of complex adnexal masses. Imaging supports fertility and oncologic management.

Urologic Imaging

CT and ultrasound assess renal and bladder pathology and stones. MRI evaluates prostate and pelvic soft tissue lesions. Imaging guides intervention and surveillance.

Oncologic Staging

Cross sectional imaging stages pelvic malignancies and assesses nodal involvement. PET CT may detect metastatic disease in selected cases. Multidisciplinary review informs treatment planning.
