This article discusses the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for evaluating the urethra. The study involved three male patients with urethral strictures, and MRI was used to assess the anatomy and extent of the strictures, aiding in diagnosis and surgical planning. The advantages of MRI for evaluating urethral strictures include non-invasiveness, detailed anatomical visualization, and the ability to assess treatment effectiveness. However, there are limitations to consider, such as the cost of the procedure and the availability of MRI in certain regions. Overall, MRI is a valuable tool for evaluating urethral strictures and can provide important information for patient care. [Extracted from the article]
