What Does a Whole Body MRI Show?
Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (whole-body MRI) is a comprehensive, non-invasive diagnostic technique that provides detailed images of most organs and tissues in the human body. This method is especially important for detecting various diseases and conditions involving many body systems:
- Tumors and neoplasms: diagnosis and assessment of the spread of cancerous tumors and metastases in different body parts.
- Diseases of the musculoskeletal system: detecting bones, joints, and muscle tissue pathologies.
- Vascular diseases: detection of blood vessel abnormalities, including aneurysms and vascular disease.
- Diseases of the abdominal cavity: diagnosis of diseases of the liver, pancreas, kidneys, and other organs.
- Brain pathologies: assessment of the structure and function of the brain, including detecting tumors and strokes.
- Lung and mediastinal diseases: assessment of the lungs, bronchi, and chest tissue condition.
Main organs examined:
- Brain & Neck
- Thorax: Assessment of the heart, lungs, and mediastinum.
- Abdomen and pelvis: Detailed analysis of the abdominal and pelvic organs, including the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and intestines.
- Musculoskeletal system
- Lymphatic system
Whole-body MRI is a valuable tool for a comprehensive assessment of a patient’s health, allowing doctors to obtain a complete picture for diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring disease progress. This is especially true for patients with multiple medical problems or suspected systemic diseases that require detailed examination of various organs.
Indications for whole-body MRI
Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (whole-body MRI) is extremely important for evaluating a variety of diseases, including extensive tumor processes and systemic diseases, and for monitoring the spread of certain cancers.
Indications for whole-body MRI:
- Diagnosis and assessment of the prevalence of tumor diseases, including metastases.
- Evaluation of extensive injuries and inflammatory processes.
- Monitoring for systemic diseases such as sarcoidosis or systemic lupus erythematosus.
- General assessment of organs and systems in cases of non-specific symptoms or for an extensive health examination.
Importantly! Before the whole-body MRI procedure, the patient must have a complete history and a referral from the doctor. This will provide a more accurate diagnosis and allow the doctor to determine the most appropriate scan parameters.
Preparation for the procedure
A whole-body MRI procedure can take longer than a full-body MRI and requires careful preparation and attention from the patient and the medical staff.
Preparing for a whole-body MRI includes the following steps:
- It is important to bring all medical records and the results of previous examinations with you
- Remove all metal objects, including jewelry, watches, piercings, and clothing items with metal parts.
- Hearing aids, dentures, and other removable medical devices should be removed before the MRI.
- Tell your doctor about any known medical problems and allergies, especially to contrast agents if they are to be used.
- If you plan to use a contrast agent, you may need to abstain from eating and drinking for a few hours before your procedure.
Importantly! EasyMed patients will receive more information from our managers on whole-body MRI Preparation and Pre-Procedure Restrictions.
Whole Body MRI Process
Whole-body MRI with contrast medium
Whole-body MRI with contrast medium is a comprehensive diagnostic procedure that provides detailed images of many organs and systems of the body. The use of contrast is recommended in the following cases:
- Determination of the spread of tumor processes: It is especially important for detecting metastases and assessing the degree of organ damage.
- Diagnosing circulatory system diseases: Helps in the study of vascular abnormalities, including blood clots and aneurysms.
- Investigation of inflammatory and infectious processes: Contrast improves the visualization of inflamed areas and infected tissues.
- Lymphatic System Assessment: Used to diagnose diseases of the lymph nodes and canals.
- General assessment of the condition of internal organs: Suitable for a comprehensive examination in case of unclear clinical picture.
Importantly! Before the procedure, it is necessary to inform the doctor about all allergic reactions, especially to contrast agents.
Contraindications
Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging is a comprehensive diagnostic method that allows you to obtain detailed images of various body parts. However, there are certain restrictions and contraindications to its implementation:
Relative contraindications:
- Claustrophobia: Fear of confined spaces can make the procedure uncomfortable for the patient.
- Pregnancy: Especially in the early stages, due to the unstudied effects of the magnetic field on fetal development.
- Availability of medical devices that are sensitive to the magnetic field, such as some types of cochlear implants.
Absolute contraindications:
- Internal electronic medical devices: Pacemakers, defibrillators, and other devices that can be damaged by a magnetic field.
- Metal implants or fragments: Especially dangerous in the heart or eye area.
- Body Weight Restriction: Due to the size and load capacity of MRI equipment.
In a whole-body MRI with contrast medium:
- Allergic reactions to the contrast agent that require prior examination.
- Impaired renal function, as the contrast is excreted through the kidneys.
Importantly! Before performing an MRI of the whole body, EasyMed provides full information about contraindications and helps organize the procedure, taking into account the individual characteristics of each client.
Safety of the procedure
Whole-body MRI is a safe procedure because it does not use ionizing radiation. The frequency of such examinations is determined individually, depending on the medical indications and the patient’s state of health. Regular scans may be recommended if long-term monitoring of chronic diseases is needed or to assess treatment progress. This examination method provides a comprehensive analysis of the condition of many organs and systems, which is a key factor for an accurate diagnosis and an effective treatment plan.
