Understanding MRI Upper Abdomen

What is MRI Upper Abdomen?

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the upper abdomen is done to visualise the organs, including the intestine, stomach, liver, etc. It is a radiationless test that uses strong radio and magnetic waves to create multiple images. The images captured during the MRI testing can be stored on an electrical camera and developed on a film.

Many people complain of persistent stomach aches that are usually ignored with the expectation it’ll go away. This persistent pain could be a cyst, tumour or inflammation. MRI is done to diagnose any pain or swelling or suspect any abnormal mass/ tumour or enlargement of the stomach. Since no contrast substance is used, there has been no documented significant side effect of the test.
