Abdominal MRI / MRCP (Self-Pay)

Self-pay abdominal MRI at Neurofyzionet's Brno MRI centre covers the liver, pancreas and kidneys plus MRCP — non-invasive imaging of the bile ducts and pancreatic duct — at a flat 3,000 Kč per region with the report and imaging media included. The centre offers the hepatobiliary-specific Primovist contrast agent (additional 4,000 Kč) for characterising liver and pancreatic lesions, a capability usually confined to hospital radiology departments. Contrast decisions are made by the reporting radiologist; a physician referral specifying the organ is required.

Abdominal MRI provides radiation-free, high-contrast imaging of the solid abdominal organs and is the preferred modality for characterising liver lesions, investigating pancreatic and biliary disease and assessing kidney masses found on ultrasound. **Examinations offered:** Neurofyzionet's spectrum covers MRI of the liver, pancreas and kidneys, and MRCP — magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, which maps the bile ducts and pancreatic duct without the endoscopy or contrast injection required by ERCP. MRCP is the standard non-invasive work-up for suspected gallstones in the bile duct, biliary strictures and pancreatic duct abnormalities. **Contrast options:** Standard gadolinium contrast adds 2,000 Kč where the radiologist indicates it. For liver and pancreas studies the centre also offers Primovist (gadoxetic acid), a hepatocyte-specific agent taken up by functioning liver cells, which substantially improves the detection and characterisation of focal liver lesions — at an additional 4,000 Kč. The reporting radiologist always decides which, if any, contrast is appropriate. **Pricing and pathway:** The base self-pay rate is a flat 3,000 Kč per examined region, including the radiologist's written report and imaging on CD or flash drive. A referral (žádanka) from a treating physician specifying the organ or region is required. Abdominal protocols typically take 30–45 minutes and may include breath-hold sequences; staff guide you through breathing instructions during the scan. **Booking:** Phone +420 511 119 765.
