Prostate Cancer Awareness Month: Advanced Imaging and Treatment Options at IntelliRad Imaging

Prostate Cancer Awareness Month: Advanced Imaging and Treatment Options at IntelliRad Imaging

September marks Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, a time to highlight the importance of early detection, diagnosis, and treatment options for one of the most common cancers affecting men. At IntelliRad Imaging, we are dedicated to providing access to advanced imaging and minimally invasive treatments that enhance outcomes and improve the quality of life for patients in our community.

MRI of the Prostate

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the prostate is one of the most effective tools available for detecting and evaluating prostate cancer. Unlike traditional screening methods, MRI provides a detailed, high-resolution look at prostate tissue, allowing physicians to identify suspicious areas with greater accuracy. Prostate MRI is also used to guide biopsies and monitor patients who are on active surveillance.

At IntelliRad Imaging, prostate MRI can be performed at one of our trusted partner hospitals, giving patients access to cutting-edge technology close to home. By working collaboratively with referring physicians, our radiologists ensure that each patient receives clear, actionable results to guide their care.

Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) for BPH

Not all prostate issues are cancerous, though. Millions of men suffer from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), an enlarged prostate that can cause urinary problems and affect daily life. For these patients, our interventional radiologists offer a minimally invasive solution: Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE).

PAE works by reducing blood flow to the enlarged prostate, which causes it to shrink over time and relieves symptoms without the need for invasive surgery. This outpatient procedure has shown excellent results, with faster recovery and fewer side effects compared to traditional surgical options. Our interventional radiology team has extensive experience performing PAE, helping men regain comfort and quality of life.

Raising Awareness, Saving Lives

During Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, we encourage men to speak with their physicians about risk factors, screening, and the full range of diagnostic and treatment options available. Whether it’s through advanced imaging like prostate MRI or innovative therapies like PAE, IntelliRad Imaging is proud to be a partner in men’s health.

Together, we can increase awareness, promote early detection, and deliver life-changing care.

To schedule your MRI of the prostate (CPT code 72197), please ask your urologist or primary care physician to send a pre-authorization and prescription to our partner hospital that is closest to your house. See our Locations page for our partner hospitals.
