Abstract
MRI, because of its multiplaner capability and high soft tissue contrast, is ideally suited for examination of the prostate. The normal prostatic zonal architecture and periprostatic anatomy can be visualized. The use of an endorectal surface coil greatly enhances resolution. Clinical application to the study of BPH, prostate carcinoma, prostatic cysts, and inflammatory disease is discussed. MRI appears to be emerging as the modality of choice for imaging the prostate.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
