Abstract

The appearance of the normal penis and of a variety of penile abnormalities on magnetic resonance (MR) images was studied in 55 patients with either medium (0.35 T) or high (1.5 T) magnetic field strengths. Penile morphologic characteristics with anatomic detail of the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum were demonstrated in each patient. MR images clearly displayed congenital anomalies (n = 6), penile prostheses (n = 7), fibrous tissue or hematoma due to trauma (n = 8), and fibrous plaque in Peyronie disease (n = 3). MR imaging also demonstrated urethral (n = 6) and penile (n = 5) neoplasms and allowed tumor staging, thus facilitating the surgical approach.
