What is an MRI Abdomen Scan?
An MRI Abdomen scan is a safe, painless imaging test that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce highly detailed images of the abdominal organs and tissues.
It is especially useful for evaluating the liver, pancreas, kidneys, adrenal glands, spleen, intestines, and abdominal blood vessels.
