MRI with contrast: preparing for the procedure
MRI with contrast is a method of diagnostics when a contrasting agent is introduced into the body for better visualisation of blood vessels, tumors and tissues. It enhances the contrast of images, allowing for detection of slightest changes.
When an MRI with contrast is prescribed?
-
Diagnosis of tumours and vascular disorders.
-
Assessment of inflammatory conditions and post-operative monitoring.
-
Examination of the brain, spine, and internal organs.
How to prepare?
Before the procedure it is necessary to:
-
Maintain a fasting period of 4–6 hours. Failure to do so may cause nausea or vomiting due to the administration of the contrast agent. Additionally, a full stomach can affect image quality, making organ visualisation more difficult.
-
Inform the doctor about any contradictions, allergies, and kidney diseases.
-
Remove metallic objects before the examination.
