Contraindications

If there are metallic objects or devices with metal in the body, they will be attracted to magnets, and that is not safe. MRI studies are allowed for patients with:

  • titanium implants
  • braces
  • prosthetic joints
  • titanium spinal brackets

These may be:

Absolute

  • metallic prostheses
  • cardiac pacemakers
  • defibrillators
  • neurostimulators
  • Surgical implants (clips, joints, etc.)
  • drug delivery pumps
  • cochlear implants
  • bullets or other metallic foreign bodies that have entered the body in accidents
  • 1st trimester of pregnancy

Relative

  • claustrophobia
  • it is impossible to lie without movement
  • defibrillators
  • Contraindications are not absolute; each case should be discussed individually with a physician. The same relates to pregnancy: in general the procedure is not recommended, but in some cases the benefit outweighs the risk.

Application

Magnetic resonance imaging is used more often than other methods to detect diseases and injuries of soft tissues.

Duration

The examination takes 30-60 minutes.

During this time, the patient lies inside the tomograph as motionless as possible. If necessary, sedation (anesthesia) can be used.

Booking

Attendance is strictly by appointment

 

Doctor’s referral or written doctor’s recommendation in the consultation sheet / extract from the outpatient card (if available)

Preparation for the examination (MRI of the abdominal cavity)

  • Do not eat 3 hours before the examination.
  • Do not drink heavily (do not feel thirsty)
  • Do not eat gas-forming foods (vegetables, bread, fruits, full-cream milk) within 2 days.

If there will be sedation (anesthesia), obligatory documents

  1. Clinical blood count
  2. Heart electrocardiogram

Important information

The procedure may have specific features depending on what part of the body is to be examined and who is being examined:

  • If the procedure is performed for a child, one of the parents may present during the whole examination.
  • A break of 5-6 hours in food and water intake is required before MR cholangiography and MRI of the abdominal cavity.
  • If sedation (anesthesia) is used, it is prohibited to eat or drink for 6 hours before the examination. There are additional requirements for sedation (anesthesia) (CBC and ECG)
  • MRI of the pelvic organs is performed on an empty stomach with the use of drugs that reduce intestinal motility, preferably during the first phase of the cycle (women).
  • Weight restriction 100 kg
  • Wear comfortable clothes without metallic parts and remove metal accessories.
