Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for the pelvis consists of the visualization of the internal systems in the pelvic area. This allows the diagnosis of diseases of the pelvic organs in a timely manner. Pelvis MRI reporting refers to the rapid and remote interpretation of MRI scans by specialty radiologists.
The female reproductive system is affected by several factors, such as nutrition, hormonal balance, etc. Several complications can arise in these organs due to imbalances in hormones, nutrition, or biochemistry. Pelvis MRI can easily detect complications like wall thickening, cavity distortion, signal heterogeneity, mass formation, and tubular dilatation.
The main structures present in the male reproductive system are the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, ejaculatory ducts, pelvic portion of the vas deferens, and prostatic capsule. To accurately detect complications in these regions, the pelvis MRI is widely used. It can diagnose conditions like zonal distortion, capsular irregularity, volume enlargement, asymmetric thickening, signal loss or replacement, and ductal dilatation.
The urinary system is responsible for the expulsion of liquid waste out of the body. Complications like wall irregularity, lumen narrowing, outpouching, intraluminal filling defects, peri-organ infiltration, sphincteric disruption, etc., can disturb their normal functioning. A pelvis MRI is an ideal radiological method to detect these conditions.

Explained below is the step-by-step process of pelvis MRI reporting at Statim Healthcare:
The pelvis MRI scan is performed at the healthcare unit by a radiology technician.
The patient’s condition and clinical information are recorded by the consulting physician.
The images obtained after performing the pelvis MRI are sent to Statim Healthcare.
Based on the anatomical region under review, a radiologist specializing in the relevant area is allocated for the case.
The radiologist carefully analyzes the image for abnormalities and artifacts to put forth a diagnosis.
The observations from the MRI scans must be correlated with the patient’s clinical data to give accurate results.
These findings and the diagnostic conclusions are presented in the form of a final report, which is electronically signed by the radiologist.
The report is converted into an encrypted format and sent to the healthcare unit using the institutional PACS/RIS or a protected email delivery method.
Pelvis MRI is one of the many MRI interpretation services offered at Statim Healthcare. At STatim, measures like quality assurance, regulatory compliance, and data security are taken to give the best assistance to medical care providers.
