Our radiologists are highly experienced in a full range of MR services.
These capabilities include MR imaging of the:
- Adrenal glands
- Distinguishes if adrenal masses are benign or cancerous
- Analyzes which tumors causing high blood pressure could respond to surgery
- Bladder
- Evaluates bladder tumors for size, location, presence in bladder wall or spread to other sites
- Breast– See Breast Imaging
- Cervix
- Appraises cervical tumor to see if surgery or radiation therapy is best
- Identifies tumor size and location, spread, presence in surrounding lymph nodes or ureter
- Colon
- Evaluates potential fistulas in distal colon, rectum or anus, as in inflammatory bowel disease
- Kidneys
- Assesses renal (kidney) masses
- Diagnoses and stages tumors
- Evaluates renal cysts
- Liver
- MR is most accurate imaging method for liver
- Identifies cirrhosis and its complications
- Detects, evaluates hepatic steatosis (fatty liver) and hemochromotosis (iron overload)
- Examines focal liver masses to determine which need therapy
- Ovaries
- Identifies problems that may be treated conservatively or with laparoscopy, such as some cysts or benign tumors
- Can distinguish nearby benign masses
- Shows location and extent of ovarian cancer prior to surgery
- Evaluates abdomen and pelvis to document success of cancer therapy
- Pancreas
- Shows blockages of pancreatic duct through magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), a non-invasive technique that visualizes the bile ducts, gallbladder and pancreatic ducts without the use of an endoscope or sedation
- Views bile ducts to determine causes of obstruction
- Judges severity of pancreatitis and checks for complications
- Identifies cysts and cystic neoplasms, determines action needed
- Stages pancreatic tumors
- Prostate
- Stages prostate cancer to help determine optimal therapy
- Assesses size and location of tumor, volume of entire gland, spread beyond prostate
- Testicles
- Provides further analysis of an ultrasound finding
- Uterus
- Evaluates cause of enlarged uterus, pelvic pain or abnormal bleeding
- Analyzes fibroid tumors and adenomyosis to determine which therapies may provide best results
