Liver MRI

RM Hígado

This non-invasive diagnostic procedure uses an electromagnetic field and radio waves (from a transmitter and receiver) to acquire high-definition anatomical images of the liver. It is a radiation-free procedure. It is performed to study any localised injury to the liver, and also to assess inflammatory and storage diseases. Paramagnetic contrast (gadolinium) is usually required to characterise the lesions. The test must be performed on an empty stomach (6 hours).
