Magnetic-resonance tomography in diagnostics of patients with acute abdominal pain syndrome

Abstract

Data on MR-tomographic imaging of abdominal organs and retroperitoneal space performed for 109 patients with acute abdominal pathology within the first day of hospital admission is presented. In addition to ultrasound examination of abdominal cavity, magnetic-resonance imaging (MRI) (Signa, General Electric, 1.5 T) was performed in all the patients. MRI’s high diagnostic efficacy in combination with the method’s non-invasiveness and the absence of ionizing radiation make it the best method in the diagnosis of acute abdominal pathology that makes it possible to optimize the diagnostic algorithm, avoid abdominal surgical intervention, including those for diagnostic purposes, and to implement minimally invasive surgical techniques.
