Today, medicine is increasingly successful such a type of survey as a magnetic resonance tomogram (MRI). Moreover, such a study can be examined by the body as in parts, that is, certain organs and systems and in general. And that is characteristic, the data obtained very accurately displays the entire picture of the process occurring in the body. From the article you will learn that it shows the MRI of the abdominal cavity and to whom it is shown.
How the MRI method arose
This type of survey arose relatively recently. It all started in 1973, when one foreign scientist on the name Lyterburg published an article in which he told about his research. They consisted that Paul Lotterburg affected the magnetic resonance to the smallest particles of hydrogen, which were in living organisms, thanks to which he received an image.
But here it was necessary to treat everything in mathematical format. This, in fact, and took up a little later, Peter Mensfield. The two of these scientific actors are the founders of the newest research method - MRI. This is a grandiose breakthrough in the field of medicine. Therefore, for the creation of such an amazing diagnostic method, the above-mentioned scientists received the Nobel Prize.
In practice, the magnetic resonance method began to apply already in the 80s. It is this time that is associated with the advent of the first devices that helped display the interaction of small hydrogen particles with the rays of the magnetic field. They are called magnetic resonance tomographs.
This diagnostic method is incredibly important for medicine, because practically all human organs and systems are subject to research. And that is characteristic, the use of a magnetic resonance tomograph is a non-invasive method. The only thing that is a small minus of this method is that physicians carrying out tomography and decipheering the data obtained should have high qualifications and level of preparation.
What gives the diagnosis of the abdominal cavity by MRI
When the doctor appoints his patient a study of the abdominal cavity with MRI, it means that he wants to know whether there are any changes in these organs that may indicate the availability of a particular disease, and even the presence of various types of neoplasms in them. MRI gives accurate mathematical data on changes in the size of the organs themselves, and also shows all the deviations from normal indicators. Also at MRI, the doctor can see various damage to the abdominal organs.
All this data is obtained in the form of snapshots made during the study procedure. Moreover, the pictures are made in different angles and cuts, that is, the organ under study is visible at any angle on each side, and this makes it possible to identify the disease in an embryo when a potential patient has no obvious signs of the disease.
Important is the fact that the considered method of research is completely not harmful to the human body, that is, there is no effect on any heavy metals or huge doses of radiation radiation.
This confirms the fact that the MRI procedure is prescribed even to children if there is a testimony for it. Although, of course, the difficulty is that during the procedure it is necessary not to move, to obtain more reliable data. And the time of procedure is often 30-40 minutes. In this case, doctors have to resort to anesthesia, because no child will endure half an hour, not moving.
By means of an MRI of the abdominal cavity, you can explore:
- bubble liver, as well as see the condition of bile ducts;
- pancreatic changes;
- directly stomach with intestines;
- spleen with lymph nodes located in the peritoneum;
- kidneys with trenches;
- urinary system.
MRI of the abdominal cavity can be carried out using a special substance - contrast, and without it. The question is already solved, based on the fact that it is the doctor who wants to see, producing diagnostics. This research method is incredibly valuable in oncology, because it makes it possible to identify malignant neoplasm in the above internal organs at an early stage and during the treatment to begin treatment so that the disease does not progress.
Plus, therefore, it is possible to determine the dislocation of metastases if the cancer is in the active phase. Moreover, all this is done without surgery and take biopsy, which is very valuable for the patient. That is, the diagnosis is made by the smallest losses for the body.
How to prepare for MRI abdominal cavity
To go through the MRI procedure for the study of the abdominal cavity, you need a small preparation of the body under study. That it includes:
- On the eve, it is necessary to adhere to a special diet, namely: within 24 hours before the procedure, exclude vegetables from the diet (it usually concerns the cabbage, as it gives bloating) and fruits, drinks with gas, fermented milk products, black bread.
- To avoid accumulation of gases, take 10-12 activated carbon tablets. An alternative can be such a drug like "Espumizan". The principle of action is the same, but it is both in tablet form and in the form of droplets. This is a very important aspect of training, since due to the presence of gases in the GTS, the obtained data may be unreliable or "smeared". As a result, research will have to do again.
- Somewhere in an hour before the start of the procedure, some doctors recommend to take several but-shop tablets.
- And finally, it is necessary to give up the reception of any food for 5-7 hours before the procedure, so that the bile in the bubble is not developed bile, and the results turned out to be reliable.
These are the highlights that should be observed before the MRI of the abdominal cavity. More detailed to you about all the nuances should be a doctor who will conduct a study.
Our dear readers, we wish you always to be healthy, full strength and energy so that you do not have to experience any research methods. Take care of yourself and your children!
