Prostate MRI in Dubai at DRHC Dubai

At Dr. Rami Hamed Center (DRHC) in Dubai, we offer Prostate MRI — a cutting-edge diagnostic tool used to evaluate the prostate gland with exceptional accuracy. Prostate MRI plays a key role in the detection, staging, and monitoring of prostate cancer, as well as other prostate-related conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostatitis.

With our advanced MRI technology and expert radiology team, we deliver precise, non-invasive prostate imaging to support faster diagnosis and personalized treatment planning.

What is a Prostate MRI?

Prostate MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a specialized, non-invasive imaging test that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to produce detailed, cross-sectional images of the prostate gland and surrounding tissues. It is especially useful for:

• Detecting suspicious areas in the prostate
• Guiding targeted biopsies
• Assessing tumor size, location, and spread
• Monitoring low-risk prostate cancer under active surveillance

At DRHC, we use multiparametric MRI (mpMRI), which combines anatomical and functional imaging sequences (T2-weighted, diffusion-weighted imaging, and dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging) for optimal diagnostic accuracy.

When is Prostate MRI Recommended?

A Prostate MRI may be advised if you:

• Have elevated PSA levels (Prostate-Specific Antigen)
• Have an abnormal digital rectal exam (DRE)
• Require evaluation after an inconclusive biopsy
• Need a targeted biopsy based on MRI findings
• Are being monitored for known prostate cancer
• Show symptoms suggestive of BPH or prostatitis

How to Prepare for a Prostate MRI

• Fasting: You may be asked to avoid food for 4–6 hours before the scan.
• Bowel Prep: A mild enema may be recommended to clear the rectum for clearer images.
• Bladder Status: You may be instructed to arrive with a moderately full bladder.
• Metallic Objects: Inform our team about any implants or devices before the scan.

The scan typically takes 30–45 minutes and is performed in a comfortable, private setting. A contrast agent (gadolinium) may be injected through a vein to enhance image clarity, especially if evaluating a known or suspected tumor.

Common Prostate Conditions Detected by MRI

• Prostate Cancer – detection, staging, and monitoring
• Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) – enlarged prostate gland
• Prostatitis – inflammation or infection of the prostate
• Post-biopsy Complications – abscesses, hematomas, or tissue damage
• Prostate Cysts and Structural Abnormalities
