Understanding MRI Upper Abdomen With Contrast

What is MRI Upper Abdomen With Contrast?

The Abdominal MRI with Contrast is a non-invasive treatment that produces images of the interior of the abdominal area without the use of X-rays by using strong magnetic and radio waves. The kidneys, pancreas, spleen, liver, and gallbladder are all imaged during the scan in the upper abdomen. It may be recommended to assess blood flow, blood vessels, the origin of discomfort or swelling, and lymph nodes.

A contrast dye is used to highlight the areas of the upper abdomen that need to be examined. Unless the colon has to be cleared, no other tests, diets, or drugs are typically required. In the MRI room, particular metallic objects are not permitted due to the powerful electromagnetic waves, including pacemakers and other artificial implants.
