Penis MRI scans

MRI of the Penis

A doctor or physician may order an MRI scan of the penis to take pictures of the male reproductive organs. Unlike the female reproductive system, most of the male reproductive system is located outside the body. This includes the penis, scrotum and testicles.

An penis MRI is useful because it shows healthcare providers what tissue is normal, and what tissue is not.

A quality MRI scan can show radiologists what may be causing your signs and symptoms and it’s important that you find the best machines and radiologists possible to receive the best imaging.
