    PurposeWe studied the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of suspected penile fracture.Materials And MethodsPenile fracture diagnosis was based on classic history and typical physical signs in 8 patients who were treated surgically without any further diagnostic procedure. Sonography, cavernosography and MRI were performed in 4 patients with equivocal findings.ResultsOnly MRI identified rupture of the corpus cavernosum in all 4 cases.ConclusionsMRI is the most accurate imaging procedure when penile fracture is suspected but clinical findings are unusual.
