Understanding MRI Lower Abdomen With Contrast

What is MRI Lower Abdomen With Contrast?

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the lower abdomen with contrast is done to gain visuals of the organs of the pelvis and lower abdomen. You may be asked to take an oral- solution of the contrast substance, or it will be injected into you. This substance helps increase the specificity of the images. Abdominal MRI helps to detect tumours, cancers, stones, inflammations, enlargements, etc.

The most common contrast agent used is gadolinium which is very safe, and even though side effects have been documented, they are very rare. MRI is more accurate than CT scans, especially where differentiated soft tissues are in the picture. It can show tissues from different angles and is a convenient and non-invasive way to track blood flow.
