Magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvis
Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an advanced and non-invasive diagnostic technique that provides detailed images of the pelvic organs and structures. This procedure plays a key role in accurately diagnosing various diseases related to the urogenital system, including pathologies of the genitourinary organs and disorders in the pelvic region.

What does a pelvic MRI show?
- Gynecological diseases: Uterine and ovarian tumors, endometriosis, fibroids, inflammatory processes.
- Urological problems: Prostate diseases in men, including prostatitis and prostate cancer, bladder abnormalities.
- Intestinal diseases: Especially inflammatory diseases such as Crohn's disease, ultracerosis colitis, and tumors.
- Pelvic vascular pathologies: Vascular disorders, including thrombosis.
Organs examined:
- Uterus and ovaries in women
- Prostate and seminal vesicles in men
- Bladder
- Rectum and sigmoid colon
- Pelvic lymph nodes
- Pelvic vessels
Pelvic MRI provides valuable information about the condition of the reproductive organs and surrounding tissues, which is crucial for accurate diagnosis and determining the most appropriate treatment.
Indications
Indications for pelvic MRI may include:
- Pain of unknown origin in the pelvic area.
- Suspected diseases of the uterus and appendages, including fibroids, endometriosis, and inflammatory processes.
- Diagnosis of ovarian tumors and cysts.
- Assessment of the prostate gland and bladder in men.
- Infertility tests and evaluation of treatment efficacy.
- Examination after pelvic surgery.
Importantly! Before undergoing a pelvic MRI, the patient must provide complete medical information and a referral from the attending physician. This ensures the accuracy of the diagnosis and helps radiologists adapt the procedure to the patient’s individual characteristics.
Preparation for the procedure
Preparing for a pelvic MRI also requires several steps:
- It is necessary to remove all metal jewelry, watches, and piercings before the procedure. It is also important to free clothing from metal elements.
- If the patient has removable medical devices, such as dentures, they should be removed before the scan.
- It is important to provide all available medical documents, including the results of previous examinations, for a complete clinical picture.
- The patient should report all current medical conditions and allergies, especially to contrast agents.
- If the pelvic MRI procedure involves using a contrast agent, special preparation may be required, such as temporarily abstaining from food and liquids.
Importantly! Before undergoing an MRI, patients will receive additional consultations from EasyMed managers, who will clarify all the necessary actions and restrictions to ensure maximum safety and accuracy of the procedure.
Pelvic MRI Process
Pelvic MRI begins with patient registration and initial preparation. Next, the patient lies on a movable table, which enters the tunnel of the MRI machine. During scanning, it is important to remain still for high-quality images.
A typical pelvic MRI lasts 30 to 60 minutes. The time may increase with the use of a contrast agent. If required, contrast is administered intravenously to improve the visualization of certain structures.
After the scan, the patient can leave the clinic immediately if there is no need for additional follow-up or procedures.
The whole process, including preparation and scanning, usually takes 1-1.5 hours. EasyMed clients receive prompt access to the procedure and support at all stages, from recording to obtaining results.
MRI of the pelvic organs with contrast medium
Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pelvic organs provides a more accurate and detailed visualization of the organs and tissues in this area. The contrast agent injected intravenously enhances the contrast between the different structures, which is especially useful in the following cases:
- Evaluation and diagnosis of pelvic tumors, including the uterus and ovaries. Contrast helps reveal the neoplasms' size, prevalence, and nature.
- Study of inflammatory diseases and infections, such as endometritis or prostatitis, thanks to improved isolation of inflammatory areas.
- Diagnosis and evaluation of endometriosis and other gynecological diseases leading to pathological changes in the pelvic organs.
- Assessment of the condition of the pelvic vessels and detection of possible abnormalities or circulatory disorders.
Importantly! Before undergoing an MRI with contrast, it is important to inform your doctor about any allergic reactions and other medical conditions.
Contraindications
Relative contraindications:
- Claustrophobia: In patients with a fear of confined spaces, the procedure may cause discomfort.
- Pregnancy: Especially in the first trimester, because of the potential risk to fetal development.
- Cochlear implants: Can be sensitive to a magnetic field depending on the type of implant.
Absolute contraindications:
- Having a pacemaker or other electronic devices: The magnetic field of an MRI can interfere with their functioning.
- Metal implants: Overheating or displacement under the influence of a magnetic field.
- Body Weight Restriction: The patient's weight should match the technical capabilities of the MRI machine.
For MRI with contrast:
- Allergy to contrast agent: It is important to tell your doctor about any allergies.
- Abnormal renal function: Contrast is excreted by the kidneys, so it is important to consider the condition of the kidneys.
Importantly! Before the pelvic MRI procedure, each patient will be additionally informed by EasyMed managers about all the necessary preparatory measures and potential contraindications, considering their individual characteristics and medical history.
Safety of the procedure
Magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvic organs is a safe and reliable diagnostic method that does not use ionizing radiation. The procedure uses a magnetic field and radio waves, eliminating the risks associated with radiation typical of X-ray examinations and computed tomography.
The frequency of pelvic MRI depends on the specific medical indications and the patient’s health. In some cases, especially when monitoring chronic disease progression or assessing treatment effectiveness, regular MRI may be required. The attending physician should give specific recommendations regarding the frequency and necessity of the procedure based on the individual characteristics of the clinical picture of each patient.
