Lesser pelvis MRI examination with contrast agent

Description

LESSER PELVIS MRI EXAMINATION WITH CONTRAST AGENT

A lesser pelvis MRI is usually prescribed by a doctor to detect gynaecological or urological diseases: kidney disease (suspected kidney cyst, tumour), urinary problems (incontinence), adrenal disease, bladder lesions, and lesions of the ovaries, uterus, cervix and endometriosis.

When contrast agent is used for the examination, having a medical referral and a satisfactory kidney function test (creatinine and carbamide) is obligatory. The test results cannot be older than a month. Prior to the examination, it is possible to perform a rapid creatinine test on-site, the blood sample is taken from a fingertip.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE EXAMINATION?

It is recommended to consult a gynaecologist or urologist prior to a pelvic MRI scan, depending on the complaints. The examination should be taken with a mildly full bladder. For women this helps the visibility of the uterus.

It is important to know that due to the powerful magnetic field you are not allowed to bring any metals to the examination room, including piercings or other jewellery in the body.

IN WHICH CASES CAN THE SCAN NOT BE PERFORMED?

Please note that we cannot perform the examination in the following cases:

• there is metal in your body (prosthetics, implants) which can be magnetized
• you cannot provide a medical referral for the examination
• in case your kidney function is under 45 eGFR, we cannot perform the examination with contrast agent
• you have severe pain, which makes it impossible to lie still for longer periods
• you have claustrophobia, and cannot stay still in closed places
• you are pregnant, or it is possible that you are pregnant
• you are late for the examination, or do not show up for the examination
