MRI Abdomen

5000+ scans done & counting

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the abdomen is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves, and a computer to create detailed images of the structures and organs within the abdominal cavity. This includes the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, spleen, kidneys, bladder, adrenal glands, stomach, intestines, and blood vessels.

MRI is especially useful for visualizing soft tissues and is often used to diagnose, monitor, and plan treatment for various conditions such as tumors, infections, inflammatory diseases, and other abnormalities in the abdomen.
