Pelvic pain affects both men and women. If you’re a woman, has your menstrual cycle gone from bad to worse? Perhaps you often bleed heavily, and now you sometimes experience spotting between periods.
Along with heavy bleeding, your periods are also painful – sometimes severely so. If you’re a man, perhaps you’re having trouble urinating or feel the urge to urinate far too frequently for it to be normal.
It’s time to investigate the root cause of these painful conditions that diminish your quality of life. Your primary care provider, gynecologist, or urologist has likely referred you to REDI Diagnostics Corp in Elmwood Park, New Jersey, for an MRI to identify the source of your ailments.
Our board-certified radiologists perform a pelvic MRI, analyze the results, write a comprehensive report, and send it promptly to your doctor.
An MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging scan, provides our radiologists and your doctor with clear images of the soft tissue, nerves, and organs inside your body.
Your pelvic organs are situated between your hip bones, which connect your lower body to your legs. They include your urinary, reproductive, and part of your digestive system.
Because pelvic pain can involve multiple structures, the MRI evaluates the reproductive organs, urinary system, and nearby portions of the digestive tract to help pinpoint the source of your symptoms.
An MRI has no radiation, so you’re not at risk of an extra dose as you would be from a CT or other type of scan that requires radiation. It’s a safe, effective test that yields critical information about your health.
Pelvic MRIs can detect several abnormalities in female and male anatomy and provide your doctor with key information to develop a treatment plan.
A pelvic MRI can reveal a wide range of gynecologic conditions, including:
In men, a pelvic MRI is equally valuable for identifying conditions such as:
An MRI can identify bladder, sigmoid colon, and rectum abnormalities in both sexes.
