List of Parameters

List of Parameters Considered During MRI Pelvis

Prostate & Seminal Vesicles: Volume, lesions, capsule invasion
Bladder & Rectum: Wall thickness, diverticula, tumors
Lymph Nodes & Vascular Structures: Enlargement, thrombosis, varices

When to Take Test

Endometriosis Detection MRI spots tiny endometrial implants missed on ultrasound. Infertility Work-Up Evaluates uterine anomalies, tubal patency, and ovarian reserve. Prostate Cancer Staging Determines tumor size, spread to seminal vesicles, and lymph-node involvement. Pelvic Pain Diagnosis Identifies causes like adenomyosis, abscesses, or hernias.

Test Results

Pelvic MRI – Common Findings and Their General Significance

Area / Organ Imaged	Radiologist's Observation / Description	Potential Medical Significance
Fibroid	Well-defined dark mass on T2	Benign; may need removal if symptomatic
Endometrial thickening	>12 mm in post-menopausal woman	Possible cancer—biopsy advised
Prostate lesion	Low signal on T2, early enhancement	Likely tumor—staging required
Bladder	Mild bladder wall thickening. No stones or masses seen within the lumen.	Could be due to chronic inflammation, infection (e.g., cystitis), or bladder outlet issues.
Enlarged lymph nodes	>1 cm, irregular borders	Metastasis or infection
Pelvic Bones	No acute fracture or destructive bony lesions noted.	Normal skeletal appearance; no evidence of trauma or bone malignancy.
