Prevalencia de hallazgos imagenológicos PI-RADS diagnosticados por resonancia magnética simple y contrastada de próstata en pacientes de 40 a 80 años que acudieron al Hospital Monte Sinaí-Cuenca, enero 2022 - enero 2024.

Abstract

Background: The prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system. In adulthood, the prostate undergoes pathophysiological changes, which might lead to some health problems. Benign N° 05754 prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer are the most common conditions. (1) Plain and contrast-enhanced prostate magnetic resonance imaging is a diagnostic imaging method which provides imaging findings using PI-RADS Version 2.1. (2) General objective. To determine the prevalence of PI-RADS imaging findings diagnosed by plain and contrastenhanced prostate magnetic resonance imaging in patients aged 40 to 80 years who went to Monte Sinai-Cuenca Hospital. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study. Data were collected from plain and contrast-enhanced prostate magnetic resonance imaging reports from January 2022 to January 2024 at Monte Sinai Hospital. Results: This study determined that the most prevalent pathological finding is benign prostatic hyperplasia and chronic prostatitis showed a higher frequency (40,00%). The most prevalent age group is that of 60 to 69 years (43.90 %). PSA values higher than 0.15 ng/ml/cc were found (52.25%). The predominant prostatic area was that of the peripheral zone (56.84%). In regard to other pathological findings, stress bladder showed a higher frequency 41,67%).
