Home · Abdomen and pelvis MRI

Abdomen, pelvis and prostate MRI.

MRI can look in detail at the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, pelvic organs and prostate. It is usually arranged to answer a specific question after a GP assessment and, often, blood tests or an ultrasound.

Common scans

Liver, gallbladder and pancreas

Including MRCP, a scan of the bile ducts, often after abnormal liver blood tests or an ultrasound.

Kidneys and adrenal glands

To look more closely at something found on another scan.

Female pelvis

The womb and ovaries, for example to investigate fibroids, endometriosis or pelvic pain.

Prostate (multiparametric)£825

The recommended next step after a raised PSA, before any biopsy. It helps decide whether a biopsy is needed and where.

Some abdominal scans need you to avoid eating for a few hours beforehand, and some use a contrast injection. We will give you clear instructions when you book.

Seek urgent help rather than waiting for a scan if you have:

Severe or worsening abdominal pain
Vomiting blood, or black, tarry stools
Yellowing of the skin or eyes with fever or feeling very unwell

Call NHS 111, or 999 in an emergency.

Bowel symptoms

MRI is not the usual first test for bowel symptoms such as bleeding or a change in bowel habit. These are best investigated with a stool test (FIT), blood tests and, where needed, a camera test (colonoscopy). Your GP will arrange the right test for your symptoms.
