A MR enterography is a mri test of the small bowel. It shows small bowel inflammation without radiation. No ionising radiation (magnetic field and radio waves).
General health information, not a diagnosis. In an emergency, call 102. Always consult a qualified health professional.
MR enterography is a non-invasive MRI test that visualizes the small bowel without using radiation. It helps in diagnosing small bowel inflammation. The test is typically performed on young patients with Crohn's disease for follow-up. Patients should remove all metal before the test and inform the staff about any implanted devices. Ear protection is provided, and staff should be informed if the patient is claustrophobic. The test is safe in pregnancy, but gadolinium contrast should be avoided unless essential. The procedure takes 45 to 60 minutes and results must be interpreted by a qualified health worker.
