MRI Abdomen with Oral Contrast Scan

Description

Advanced abdominal imaging with oral contrast for comprehensive digestive system evaluation.

Specialized MRI examination of the abdomen using oral contrast agent to provide exceptional visualization of the small bowel, digestive tract, and abdominal organs. This technique is particularly valuable for evaluating inflammatory bowel diseases, small bowel tumors, and other gastrointestinal conditions that require detailed intestinal imaging.

What’s Included:

• High-resolution MRI of complete abdomen
• Oral contrast material for bowel distension and visualization
• Detailed small bowel and large bowel evaluation
• Assessment of abdominal organs and structures

✓ Doctor’s comment included
✓ Referral, examination and medical report included
✓ Expert radiologist evaluation
✓ Oral contrast agent included

Ideal For:

• Crohn’s disease evaluation and monitoring
• Suspected small bowel tumors or masses
• Chronic abdominal pain
• Unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding
• Bowel obstruction or strictures
• Inflammatory bowel disease assessment
• Celiac disease complications
• Small bowel fistulas or abscesses
• Follow-up after bowel surgery

What to Expect:

The complete procedure takes approximately 90-120 minutes. You’ll need to drink oral contrast solution over 45-60 minutes before the scan begins, which helps outline your intestinal tract. You may need to fast for several hours before arrival. Once preparation is complete, the actual MRI scan takes about 45-60 minutes. You’ll lie comfortably while detailed images are captured. The oral contrast is generally well-tolerated and helps provide superior visualization of the bowel walls and detect inflammation or abnormalities.
