[Diagnostic imaging in male pelvic disorders].
This article reviews the imaging findings of male pelvic disorders, especially those of prostate disease. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides excellent anatomical detail, and is useful to stage prostate cancer and to understand the process of anomaly. However, failure to detect capsular invasion remains a significant weakness in prostate cancer. It is important to understand the limits and contributions of MRI to the staging of prostate cancer, and to perform the appropriate examination.
