WHAT HAPPENS DURING AN ABDOMINAL MRI?

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a strong magnetic field and radiofrequency waves to provide detailed pictures of the abdominal and pelvic areas. This exam is a powerful tool for screening and diagnosis. Many consider it to be the best way to detect diseases in their earliest, most treatable stage.

The exam is non-invasive, uses no radiation, and our state-of-the-art equipment offers a more comfortable imaging experience. Your health care practitioner may order an abdomen MRI to investigate any concerns in your abdominal area, or to examine:

• Blood flow or blood vessels
• Liver, pancreas, and kidneys
• Lymph nodes
• The cause of pain or swelling
