What diseases can be detected by pelvic MRI

With the technological advancement of high-end magnetic resonance imaging equipment, pelvic and abdominal health examinations can be diagnosed through magnetic resonance imaging. The effect is very good, the images are clear and visible, and can more accurately diagnose what disease the patient has. Pelvic MRI can detect whether there is fluid accumulation, and whether there is lesion or tumor in the uterus. Learn in detail what diseases can be detected by pelvic MRI?

1. Indications

Female pelvic MRI is suitable for:

1. Benign and malignant tumors and cystic lesions of the female internal reproductive organs: understand the nature, location and extent of invasion of the tumor.

2. Differentiate endometriosis from other space-occupying lesions in the female pelvis.

3. Reproductive tract malformations: Understand the size, shape and position of the uterus and fallopian tubes, and identify the type of malformation.

4. Damage to the female reproductive system.

Second, check taboos

1. Patients with pacemakers.

2. Using various rescue tools containing metal and being unable to remove them.

3. Those with metal clips left in the body after surgery. There are irremovable metal implants in the body adjacent to the examination site.

4. Women in early pregnancy (within 3 months) should avoid MRI scanning.

III. Preparation

1. Carefully check the application form for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination, understand the condition, and clarify the purpose and requirements of the examination. Application forms with unclear examination purposes should be reviewed and confirmed by the clinical physician.

2. Confirm that the patient has no contraindications. And ask the patient to read the examination precautions carefully and prepare as required.

3. Before entering the examination room, all metal objects, magnetic materials and electronic devices carried by the patient should be removed.

4. Tell the patient the time required for the examination. During the scan, the patient should breathe calmly and not move at will. If the patient feels uncomfortable, he or she can contact the staff through the microphone.

5. For patients with anxiety and claustrophobia, give appropriate amounts of sedatives or anesthetics according to the situation. If claustrophobia occurs, stop the examination immediately and have the patient leave the MRI examination room.

6. Emergency and critically ill patients who must undergo MRI examinations should be accompanied by a clinical physician.

7. Equipment Preparation

(1) Magnetic resonance imaging machine. Select the corresponding dedicated coil or special coil according to the inspection part.

(2) Prepare magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents and use them when necessary.
