Short profile:
MRI images of the abdomen: The liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys and adrenal glands are just some of the major abdominal structures that can be seen on MRI. Patients suffering from jaundice, pancreatitis or tumours in the abdomen may be referred for an MRI. If you're having an abdominal scan, you'll normally be expected to lie fairly flat and may need to hold your breath for short periods.
MRI images of the pelvis: The structures in the pelvis such as prostate, uterus and cervix, bladder and rectum can be demonstrated well by MRI. Because the scanner can take cross sectional images in any plane it allows a much clearer delineation of the anatomy in this area.
Typically, if you're having a pelvis MRI scan, you'll need to be able to lie as flat as possible.
Detailed description:
MRI means ‘magnetic resonance imaging’. It's a powerful diagnostic tool using a strong magnetic field to produce high-quality, soft tissue contrast images in multiple planes. Images are generated using a superconducting magnet and pulsed radio waves. MRI has become the preferred investigation choice and is applicable for use in all areas of the body. In particular, its use for imaging neurological and musculoskeletal structures has a central use in primary care Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging is an advanced version of MRI.
It uses exceptionally fast gradient systems so that moving organs, such as the heart, can be imaged very quickly. This modality has been proven to offer valuable information for a wide range of cardiac conditions, in particular, improving the diagnosis of congenital heart disease. Since the technical performance of these scanners is so powerful, it's an excellent diagnositc tool for other clinical specialities including orthopaedics, neurology and all abdominal imaging. MRI has been in use since 1979 and has the major advantage of not using ionising radiation (x-rays).
There are no known serious side effects. However, as a scanner contains a powerful magnet, MRI must not be performed on patients with metal implants in their bodies.
