Abdominal MRI

What does it consist of?

You should be stretched on your back with your head resting on a cushion, the table will move until the abdominal area is in the center of the resonance equipment. The test can last from 20 to 45 minutes, during this time, you will have to remain as calm as possible, since the taking of images is not continuous but different image planes are made. Once finished, you will be able to continue with your daily life as normal.

 

If necessary, at the beginning of the test a technician will administer contrast to mark the area to be studied.
