Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables noninvasive interrogation of penile pathology and can address uncertainties in cases of penile trauma and tumors, helping form critical management decisions. Specifically, MRI can assess the integrity of the tunica albuginea following penile trauma, thereby directing the patient to surgery versus nonoperative care. MRI also serves an adjunctive role to physical examination in local staging of penile cancer, and is especially useful for evaluation of corporal invasion, while simultaneously allowing a preliminary assessment of pelvic nodal status. In this review, we detail the normal anatomy of the penis, protocol considerations for MRI of the penis, and interpretation of penile MRI for trauma and tumors.
期刊介绍:
The mission of Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography is to showcase the latest clinical and research developments in CT, MR, and closely related diagnostic techniques. We encourage submission of both original research and review articles that have immediate or promissory clinical applications. Topics of special interest include: 1) functional MR and CT of the brain and body; 2) advanced/innovative MRI techniques (diffusion, perfusion, rapid scanning); and 3) advanced/innovative CT techniques (perfusion, multi-energy, dose-reduction, and processing).
