It is an imaging diagnostic method that allows for the detection and evaluation of prostate pathology. It is a non-invasive study that uses radiofrequency waves and provides an adequate approximation of prostate pathology. It is recommended to always supplement with intravenous contrast material.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Absolute contraindications for magnetic resonance imaging include:
*Pacemakers and heart valves not specifically designed for use in magnetic resonance imaging.
* Cardioversion defibrillators.
* Neurostimulators.
* Cochlear implants.
* Internal irrigation pumps.
Currently, there are pacemakers, brain clips, and heart valves that are magnetic, and they must be properly evaluated before exposure to magnets.
Most implants and orthopedic prostheses do not have ferromagnetic properties and are compatible with magnetic resonance imaging.
