Are abdominal organs included in a full-body scan?
In a full-body MRI, several abdominal organs may be included as part of the broad examination. This may include organs and structures in the abdomen that are assessed with an MRI camera according to the examination protocol.
The purpose is to provide a broad medical picture, not to replace a targeted investigation in cases of clear abdominal complaints.
After the imaging is done, the material is reviewed by a radiologist and the results are compiled in a report.
Which abdominal organs can be assessed?
Whole body MRI can include organs and structures such as the liver, kidneys, other abdominal organs, pelvic area, lymph nodes and soft tissues.
Exactly what is described in the report depends on the imaging material and the radiologist's assessment.
If a finding needs to be followed up, the specialist can guide you further.
- Liver and kidneys.
- Abdominal organs and pelvic area.
- Lymph nodes and soft tissues.
- Radiological report.
- Referral if necessary.
What can MRI of abdominal organs show?
MRI can show changes in abdominal organs and nearby tissues that need further evaluation. These may include cysts, organ changes, inflammation, lymph node changes, or other findings.
Not all findings are serious. Some are common and benign, while others need to be followed up with new imaging tests or other healthcare contact.
Radiological assessment and specialist review make the results easier to understand.
Full body MRI or targeted abdominal MRI?
A whole-body MRI examines abdominal organs as part of a broader examination. A targeted abdominal MRI, on the other hand, focuses more specifically on the abdominal area and can be tailored to a clearer medical question.
If you have abdominal pain, known organ changes, or specific symptoms from the stomach, a targeted examination may be more appropriate.
Price and booking
You can find the current price and book directly on the full body MRI page.
If you want to examine only the abdominal area, a targeted abdominal MRI may be an alternative.
What happens after the examination?
After the examination, you will receive a written report and a review with a specialist doctor.
If something in the abdominal organs needs to be followed up, a referral can be issued after medical assessment.
