Yes: A pelvic MRI will include the SI joints.

Question 2

i had a pelvic mri and the doctor wants to see more for follow up.  i am very concerned , what could be possible results?

Accepted Answer

Depends: on why the study was done in the first place. There are many reasons to get a pelvic MRI and equally as many reasons to get a follow up. It is best to talk to your doctor and what's going on. I need more information to give more information.

Question 3

i made the mistake of wearing a tampon to a pelvic mri. is it possible that this hindered my results? dr. was looking for a t-shaped iud, not found

Accepted Answer

No: No mistake at all. The iud is in the uterine cavity and having a tampon in the vagina should not hinder seeing/finding the iud.

Question 4

u/s report shows enlarged uterus with multiple fibroids,largest one at right posterior wall of uterus fundus, can't see ovaries. gyn suggest mri. should i hsve pelvis mri after my monthly period or middle in between 2 periods for better mri result??

Accepted Answer

Shouldn't matter: MRI is unaffected by hormones.

Question 5

went for pelvic mri for totally different question, results came back with other findings. is an mri finding of "soft tissues: small bilateral inguinal hernias containing fat" significant?

Accepted Answer

: If the inguinal hernias are "small" and provide no discomfort, there is no immediate reason to be concerned.  At some point, obtain a consult with a general surgeon for evaluation and guidance.

Question 6

37 yo w/ chronic pelvic pain.cystoscopy&psa normal.mri results: "mildly enlarged prostate w/ heterogeneity of the signal of the peripheral zone. recommend dedicated multi parametric mr imaging of the prostate for further characterization. meaning?

Accepted Answer

: Peripheral zone is not of uniform configuration. Multiparametric MRI gives many more views of the area. Chances are that it is a variation of normal or prostate enlargement of the area and not related to his pelvic pain since all other tests are OK

Question 7

when is a pelvic mri needed?

Accepted Answer

Certain situations: Most of the time an ultrasound can visualize the uterus and ovaries as well or better than an mri. Exceptions are if adenomyosis is suspected or if more details are needed on fibroids, especially for pre-operative planning of a myomectomy. An MRI cannot usually distinguish a benign fibroid from a malignant leiomyosarcoma.

Question 8

does a pelvic mri see nerves? what else can be seen?

Accepted Answer

A pelvic: MRI, depending on the parameters, could potentially visualize all anatomy down to a spatial resolution of a couple of millimeters.  That would include nerves of sufficient size.

Question 9

how common is a pelvic mri?  how long does a pelvic mri take to have done?

Accepted Answer

Pelvic MRI: Pelvic MRI is common and safe.   It takes less than 1/2 hour depending on the speed of the machine you are choosing.

Question 10
