MRI results

just saw results on my husbands patient portal. Not really sure what they mean. Also didn’t know if I should’ve put this on my original topic , so I just started a new topic, hope that’s ok.

FINDINGS:

There is mild hypertrophy of the central gland with a total gland volume of

21 cc.

The prostate gland measures 4.0 x 2.9 x 3.3 cm.

PERIPHERAL ZONES: There there are heterogeneous ill-defined T2

hyperintensities throughout both peripheral zones as well as mild enhancement

on postcontrast images and minimal restricted diffusion. In the right

posterolateral peripheral zone at the gland base, there is more defined area

of abnormality which measures 1.0 x 0.8 x 0.7 cm. The findings are

nonspecific and may represent a sequela of inflammatory process/prostatitis.

Low grade malignancy cannot be entirely excluded.

TRANSITION ZONES: No suspicious for malignancy lesions seen in the

transitional zones.

EXTRACAPSULAR STRUCTURES: The neurovascular bundles and seminal vesicles are

intact.

There is no evidence for lymphadenopathy.

There is no suspicious pelvic bony lesions.

The urinary bladder is intact.

The rectum is intact.

IMPRESSION:

1. Mild hypertrophy of the central gland with a total gland volume 21 cc.

2. Nonspecific appearance of both peripheral zones with more defined area of

signal abnormality in the right posterolateral peripheral zone at the gland

base which could represent a sequela of focal prostatitis. Low grade

malignancy cannot be entirely excluded.

3. The capsule, neurovascular bundles and seminal vesicles are intact.

4. No evidence for lymphadenopathy or suspicious pelvic bony lesions.

PIRADS: 3 INDETERMINATE
