Male Pelvic MR Angiography
MR angiography is a powerful tool in evaluating anatomy and pathology when applied to the male pelvis. MR angiography produces high-quality images of the arterial system approaching the resolution of…
Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Pelvic Metastases in Male Patients
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging offers a noninvasive tool for diagnosis of primary and metastatic pelvic tumors. The diagnosis of a pelvic metastatic lesion implies an adverse prognosis and dictates the…
MR Imaging of Scrotum
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the scrotum has been used as a valuable supplemental diagnostic modality in evaluating scrotal pathology, mostly recommended in cases of inconclusive sonographic findings. Because of…
Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Penile Cancer
Penile cancer is a rare neoplasm that, although rare in the developed world, has devastating physical and psychological consequences for the patient. Novel MR imaging techniques such as lymphotropic nanoparticle-enhanced…
Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Rectal Cancer
MR imaging plays a key role in staging evaluation of rectal cancer. The cornerstone of staging MR involves high-resolution T2 imaging orthogonal to the rectal lumen. The goals of MR…
Diffusion-Weighted Imaging of the Male Pelvis
Diffusion-weighted (DW) imaging is playing an increasingly important role in disease detection, prognostication, and monitoring of treatment response. Particularly in the realm of oncology, the potential applications for DW imaging…
MR Imaging–Guided Prostate Biopsy Techniques
A diagnosis of localized prostate cancer has always represented a clinical challenge. Nearly all prostate biopsies are performed via the transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided technique, which, however, suffers from multiple limitations…
