What Abdominal MRI Shows
The method allows detailed evaluation of internal organs:
- Liver: structure, focal lesions (hemangiomas, cysts, cancer), fatty liver, cirrhosis.
- Gallbladder and ducts: patency, stones, polyps, inflammation (cholecystitis).
- Pancreas: size, structure, tumors, edema or necrosis.
- Spleen: size, infarcts, cysts, trauma.
- Kidneys and adrenal glands: tumors, cysts, congenital anomalies, vascular pathologies.
- Lymph nodes and vessels: lymphadenopathy, thrombosis, aneurysms.
How the Procedure Is Performed
The patient lies on the scanner table. A special lightweight coil may be placed on the abdomen to enhance the signal. During scanning, it is necessary to lie still and hold breath for 10–15 seconds when instructed. Total duration is 20–40 minutes.
Preparation for MRI
- Exclude gas-forming foods (legumes, cabbage, black bread) for 2–3 days.
- Examination is performed on an empty stomach (fasting for 4–6 hours).
- Taking an antispasmodic 30–40 minutes before the procedure is recommended (consult your doctor).
Equipment
The examination is performed on a modern 1.5 Tesla MRI scanner, ensuring high image clarity and patient comfort.
