• What is MRI Whole Abdomen With Contrast?

  MRI Whole Abdomen With Contrast is a non-invasive imaging procedure that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create high-resolution images of the entire abdomen, including organs such as the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and intestines. The contrast dye, injected during the scan, enhances the visibility of these structures, helping doctors detect abnormalities like tumors, infections, or organ diseases. This scan is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as abdominal pain, cancer, gastrointestinal issues, and kidney or liver problems, offering a detailed view without the use of radiation, making it a safe and effective option for thorough abdominal assessments.
