- MRIFirst, your urologist will conduct a physical exam and discuss with the patient’s medical history and current symptoms with them directly. If your urologist feels that further testing is warranted, they will most likely refer the patient to a radiologist to complete a CT scan, PET scan, MRI, or ultrasound. Other exams can also include a biopsy and blood test among a few others. Make sure you discuss your diagnostic options and preferences with your urologist.
