MRI of the abdomen with and without contrast

MRI of the abdomen with and without contrast

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen and pelvis is a safe and painless way to examine the muscles and internal organs of the pelvis. The method is used for injuries, to detect pathological neoplasms and prevent complications after surgery.

An abdominal MRI can examine the following organs:

  • liver, kidneys, spleen, pancreas, bile ducts, intestines, adrenal glands;
  • bladder and pelvic organs: uterus and ovaries for women, prostate for men;
  • blood vessels, aorta;
  • lymph nodes.

The service is provided around the clock, so you can undergo scanning at the clinic of academician Roytberg «Medicina» at any time convenient for you.

How to prepare for an abdominal MRI scan

No special preparation is required before the procedure. The day before the MRI of the abdominal cavity, give up alcohol, mineral water, and any other carbonated drinks, fermented milk products, legumes, black bread, fruits, as well as tea and coffee. Remove all metal objects from yourself before examination. Tell your doctor if you have tattoos, electronic implants, and how you feel in a confined space. The MRI scanner is quite noisy, so it is advisable to use earplugs or headphones during the procedure. This will help reduce tension and stress.
