Rectal MRI

Rectal MRI is a non-invasive imaging technique used to obtain detailed images of the rectum, surrounding tissues, and regional lymph nodes.

The examination is widely used in colorectal diagnostics to detect tumors, inflammatory conditions, and other abnormalities.

Indications

Suspected rectal cancer

MRI helps determine the size of the tumor, its depth of invasion, and involvement of surrounding structures.

Detection of benign lesions

The method can identify polyps and other rectal masses.

Inflammatory bowel disease

MRI may be used to diagnose inflammatory conditions such as Crohn’s disease or proctitis.

Fistulas and abscesses

The examination is useful for detecting anal fistulas and abscesses.

Post-treatment monitoring

MRI can be used to evaluate treatment results and monitor disease progression.
