Understanding MRI Whole Abdomen

What is MRI Whole Abdomen?

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the whole abdomen is used to visualize the organs of the abdomen which includes the stomach, intestine, gall bladder, base of the lungs, liver, and spleen. It is a noninvasive test that uses magnets and radio waves to create an image of the inside body.

An abdominal MRI scan is usually prescribed if the doctor suspects something is wrong in the abdominal area but cannot determine through physical examination. This test is done to examine the blood flow, examine blood vessels, investigate the cause of pain or swelling, examine lymph nodes, and detect the presence of any suspected tumors.

As MRI is a radiationless test, it is considered to be a safer alternative to a CT scan.
