It is one of radiographic exams, a type of X-ray tomography. It provides tomographic images (cross-sections) of examined inner organs. The images are available as cross-sections (2D) or as a spatial image (3D).
In prostate cancer diagnostics, computed tomography is used only for evaluation of lymph nodes in Patients with strict contraindications to magnetic resonance. Unfortunately, the scan does not ensure reliable evaluation of local prostate cancer progression. It can be used to find metastases to bones and soft tissues.

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING OF THE LESSER PELVIS
Magnetic resonance is a non-invasive method for imaging soft tissues using magnetic properties of hydrogen nuclei, present in various forms and at various levels in the whole body. Scientific research on magnetic resonance imagining was initiated over 40 years ago. This method shows lesions in soft tissues, and is particularly useful for prostate cancer. This scan is used for finding Continue Reading
