Abstract

Penile MRI is a vital yet underutilized diagnostic tool that provides detailed information crucial for managing various penile pathologies. Due to its infrequent use, many radiology trainees lack confidence in interpreting these exams. This article reviews the anatomy, key technical considerations, and interpretive pearls for penile trauma, Peyronie’s disease, priapism, penile neoplasms, prosthesis evaluation, and a few miscellaneous conditions. Through illustrative case examples, this review aims to enhance the understanding and proficiency of radiologists in performing and interpreting penile MRI in these clinical scenarios.
