How is abdominal MRI done?

Published in Abdominal MRI 1 min read

An abdominal MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is performed using powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of the inside of your belly area, without using radiation. Single MRI images are called slices.

Here's a breakdown:

  • The Technology: MRI uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to generate images.
  • No Radiation: Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRI does not expose you to radiation.
  • Image Creation: The machine takes multiple "slices" or individual pictures, providing a comprehensive view.
