LivingCare offers advanced prostate MRI scanning using state-of-the-art 3T technology at our Yorkshire clinics. Our expert radiologists and urologists provide detailed imaging for accurate detection and staging of prostate cancer at our Leeds and Sheffield locations.
A prostate MRI scan is a non-invasive imaging procedure creating detailed pictures of the prostate gland . Using powerful magnetic fields and radio waves rather than radiation MRI can detect suspicious areas within the prostate that may indicate cancer, helping guide decisions about whether a biopsy is necessary
At LivingCare, we commonly perform prostate MRI for men with elevated PSA levels before considering biopsy, determining whether cancer is present and if biopsy is necessary. For men on active watch for low-risk prostate cancer, regular MRI scans monitor whether the disease remains stable.
Before Your Appointment
You can eat and drink normally, though if your scan includes contrast injection, we will need to check your Kidney function beforehand via a blood test. Inform the radiology team about any kidney problems, allergies to MRI contrast agents, metal implants or devices.
During Your Appointment
The radiographer will verify your details and explain the procedure to you. If contrast is used, a small cannula will be inserted into your arm. You'll lie on your back on the scanning table, which moves into the c scanner. you'll be provided with earplugs or headphones as the scanner is loud. It's essential to lie entirely still, as movement blurs images. The scan typically takes 30 minutes.
After Your Appointment
You can leave immediately and resume all normal activities. If contrast is used, drink plenty of water over the next 24 hours.
