This imagery therefore does not use X-ray Indications A second-line examination after ultrasound, pelvic MRI is an excellent morphological examination that explores all the organs of the small pelvis. Its contribution is irreplaceable in certain circumstances such as endometriosis for which MRI is the only imaging examination allowing a complete assessment of the lesions. For the uterus, MRI allows a more precise and reliable mapping of the various fibroids and their position, especially if the uterus is vouminous. MRI is indicated for the assessment of extension of cervical and endometrial cancers for better treatment. For the ovaries, MRI allows an analysis of cysts and their complications, complex gynecological infections, ovarian cancers. Dynamic MRI allows a precise assessment of prolapse (descent of organs) of the bladder or rectum before surgery. In young girls, MRI is an excellent complement to the ultrasound performed by the abdominal route. Contraindications and precautions to be taken before your examination: These are those of MRI (see general presentation chapter). Technique : There is no need to be fasting. We ask to empty the bladder and then stop urinating 1 hour before the examination in order to have the bladder semi - full. For endometriosis, a flushing enema ( Normacol ) is prescribed and you will be asked to place ultrasound gel in the vagina. For prolapse, you will place ultrasound gel in the vagina and rectum before restraining and pushing. Pelvic MRI is most often performed without injection of contrast product. If an injection is given, you will be asked if you are allergic in order to be premedicated. The examination is performed lying on the back, the head is outside the tunnel. A plate (antenna) is placed on your stomach to improve the images. The exam lasts around 15 minutes in the machine. Taking into account the administrative procedures, preparation and interpretation, the total duration of the exam is around 1 hour.
