What is Prostate Screening?
Prostate cancer ranks among the most prevalent cancers affecting men, with over 50,000 annual diagnoses in the UK alone. The prompt identification of prostate issues is crucial for successful treatment outcomes, enhancing the chances of recovery and the pursuit of a healthy, normal life.
Prostate screening MRI scan
- MRI prostate screening, also known as Prostate MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), is a medical imaging technique used to examine the prostate gland and surrounding structures in a non-invasive manner.
- It is primarily used for the detection, evaluation, and diagnosis of prostate-related conditions, with a particular focus on prostate cancer.
- During a prostate MRI screening, detailed images of the prostate are generated using a strong magnetic field and radio waves.
- Unlike X-rays and CT scans, MRI Prostate involves no radiation exposure, making it an exceedingly safe and non-invasive option.
- Our prostate screening is a non-contrast scan, however, if you are symptomatic, contrast may be recommended.

What conditions can a prostate MRI scan detect?
Prostate Cancer Detection
Prostate MRI exhibits a high degree of sensitivity in identifying potential cancerous abnormalities within the prostate gland, enabling the recognition of suspicious regions that may necessitate additional evaluation or biopsy.
Prostate Size
The scan can detect any non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate, which, although not indicative of cancer on its own, could lead to urinary symptoms.
Lesions or Anomalies
A lesion refers to an irregular region, mark, or growth that may indicate the presence of infection, inflammation, or potentially prostate cancer.
Pelvic Tissue Health
A prostate MRI can also assess the bladder, rectum, colon, seminal vesicles, kidneys, gallbladder, liver, and pelvic bone marrow for any irregularities or abnormalities.
