Prostate diseases are common and can cause symptoms such as urinary problems, pain, or sexual dysfunction. The most frequent conditions include prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which leads to gland enlargement and urinary tract issues, and prostate cancer, which often remains undetected for a long time.
An MRI scan offers the advantage of being non-invasive while providing high-resolution images of the prostate. It allows for the precise detection of tissue changes, the early identification of tumors, and the differentiation between benign and malignant processes. This improves diagnostic accuracy and helps avoid unnecessary biopsies or perform them in a more targeted manner.
