Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) deals with the diagnosis and imaging of the organs and structures in the abdominal region, such as the pancreas, kidneys, liver, etc. Abdominal MRI reporting consists of the interpretation and analysis of these MRI scans by remotely working radiologists specializing in abdominal MRI scanning.

What Does Abdomen MRI Reporting Cover?

Liver

The liver functions as a detoxification center of the body. It is vulnerable to complications like altered parenchymal texture, focal tissue displacement, abnormal vascular flow, capsular irregularity, etc. Using abdominal MRI, radiologists can detect these complications for early treatment.

Pancreas

Pancreas aid in the digestive function and are prone to abnormalities, which may hamper this function. An abdominal MRI is useful for detecting conditions like ductal dilation or sudden cutoff, etc. These conditions are responsible for several pancreatic disorders.

Kidneys

The kidneys are responsible for blood filtration, which is a crucial circulatory function. Complications in kidneys can result in several disorders. Abdominal MRI aids in the detection of abnormalities like corticomedullary differentiation loss, collecting system dilatation, parenchymal atrophy or distortion, and vascular narrowing or altered flow.

Workflow

The patient reports to the healthcare institution with an abdominal complaint.

A consulting physician assesses the patient's condition and collects the clinical data.

Next, a radiology technician performs the abdominal MRI scan, which generates the images.

These images, along with the patient data, are sent to Statim Healthcare for further processing.

At Statim Healthcare, a suitable radiologist is allocated for the case.

The radiologist carefully analyzes the images for anatomical abnormalities.

These findings are considered, along with the patient’s clinical data, to determine the etiology of the complication.

The diagnostic findings and conclusions are presented in a report, which is electronically signed by the radiologist.

This report is encrypted for data privacy and sent to the hospital/healthcare institution using the PACS/RIS or a secure email delivery system.
