What is an alternative for an MRI scan of the prostate?
If an MRI scan of the prostate is unavailable, you can do a CT scan of the prostate. In an outpatient setting, you can also do a rectal prostate ultrasound to get a basic idea of the disease. None of these techniques are as effective as an MRI scan of the prostate.
How long does an MRI scan of the prostate take?
It can take 40-90 minutes for a complete MRI scan of the prostate. It may take longer if the dye is used or the doctor needs more images of the prostate gland. The doctor might ask you to lie very still for some minutes during the scan as they would be taking pictures of the image generated by the MRI scan.
What is the cost of an MRI scan of the prostate in Hyderabad?
It can be between 3500-7000 rupees depending on the Lab where the scan is being done.
