Abdomen MRI (with Contrast)

Contrast-enhanced 3T MRI of the abdomen covering liver, pancreas, kidneys, spleen, and adrenal glands. Superior soft-tissue contrast for lesion characterization without radiation exposure.

The contrast-enhanced abdominal MRI at Diagnosezentrum Salzburg provides detailed imaging of the solid abdominal organs using the 3T scanner with intravenous gadolinium. The dynamic contrast protocol captures arterial, portal venous, and delayed enhancement phases, enabling characterization of focal liver lesions (distinguishing benign haemangiomas and cysts from potentially malignant masses), pancreatic pathology, renal masses, and adrenal lesions. The examination is particularly valuable for patients requiring follow-up of known hepatic lesions, those with elevated liver enzymes of uncertain cause, pancreatic cyst surveillance, and renal mass characterization where CT findings are equivocal. MRI's lack of ionizing radiation makes it suitable for patients needing serial surveillance imaging. Priced at EUR 350 including contrast agent, this examination offers a radiation-free alternative to contrast-enhanced CT for abdominal assessment. The 3T field strength provides excellent spatial resolution for small lesion detection.
