Effective MRI Liver Elastography

Cost Effective MRI Liver Elastography in Hyderabad

5000+ scans done & counting

MRI Liver Elastography is a revolutionary non-invasive imaging technique designed to assess the elasticity or stiffness of liver tissue. This cutting-edge technology applies a pressure wave or pulse to the liver, measuring how efficiently this wave travels through the tissue. In diseases like fibrosis or cirrhosis, where the liver tissue is stiffer, the wave transmits more rapidly than healthy, elastic tissue.

This advanced diagnostic approach, synonymous with MRI Elastography or MR Liver Elastography, offers a crucial indication of liver stiffness. By precisely gauging the elasticity of the liver, healthcare professionals can diagnose and monitor liver diseases, especially those associated with fibrosis (the formation of scar tissue) or cirrhosis (severe liver damage). It becomes a valuable tool for identifying existing conditions and tracking the progression of liver diseases over time.

Specific Instructions:
  • 1

    Fasting : Prior to the examination, you might be asked to fast (no food or drink) for several hours to ensure that the images obtained are as clear as possible.

  • 2

    Clothing : As the MRI uses a strong magnetic field to produce images, you will need to remove any metallic items, such as jewelry, hairpins, watches, or clothes with metal zippers or buttons. You may be given a hospital gown to wear during the examination.

  • 3

    Medical History : It's important to inform your doctor about any previous medical or surgical history, especially if you have any metallic implants, as these can interfere with the MRI images. Additionally, share if you have allergies, especially to contrast materials.

  • 4

    Pregnancy : If you're pregnant or suspect you might be pregnant, it's important to inform your doctor as an MRI scan could potentially pose a risk to the developing fetus.

  • 5

    Claustrophobia : If you have claustrophobia or experience discomfort in enclosed spaces, make sure to inform your doctor in advance. They can make necessary adjustments or prescribe medications to help you relax during the procedure.

MRI is a very safe procedure. However, the strong magnetic field can interfere with certain medical devices or implants. If you have any such devices, it's crucial to inform your doctor before the procedure.

You'll lie on a table that slides into the MRI machine. A device called an elastography paddle might be placed on your abdomen over the liver. The machine will create a pressure wave, and the speed of this wave through your liver will be measured. The procedure is generally painless.

If the test indicates that your liver is stiffer than normal, it could suggest a liver disease such as fibrosis or cirrhosis. Your doctor will consider this result alongside your other symptoms, medical history, and any other tests to determine the best course of action.
