An abdominal MRI scan is a safe, non-invasive imaging test that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed pictures of your abdominal organs and tissues. It helps identify abnormalities in the liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, bowel, and pelvic structures.

It can detect a range of issues such as tumors, cysts, infections, inflammation, blockages, liver disease, Crohn’s disease, and treatment progress following surgery or ongoing therapy.

No, no GP referral is required to book this scan.

You may be asked to avoid eating or drinking for a few hours before the scan. Metal objects, jewellery, or clothing with zippers should be removed. Your care team will provide specific instructions ahead of time.

The scan is painless. Some people feel a little claustrophobic in the MRI scanner, but we provide comfort options like watching Netflix, listening to music, or using calming aids to make the experience easier.

The scan typically takes 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the detail required.

We prioritise efficient workflows so that you can expect results within 3-5 working days. The report will be shareable to your doctor or we can arrange a private consultation to discuss your report for a fee of £100.
