MRI Scan for Pancreas in Hyderabad

Yes, some alternatives for an MRI scan are not as sensitive as an MRI. A CT scan is a good alternative if an MRI scan is not available. An ultrasound can help detect some conditions of the pancreas and emergencies where the MRI scan machine is not immediately available.

It would help if you took the following precautions before an MRI scan:

1. Remove all metal wear before you enter the MRI scan machine.
2. Tell the doctor if you have had any surgery with metal implants
3. Tell the doctor if you are pregnant
4. Tell the doctor f you have any allergies to the dyes used
5. Tell the doctor if you have claustrophobia so you can enter the machine after proper medication.

• The cost of an MRI scan of the pancreas is between 3500-8000 rupees. The cost may increase if the doctors use dye and the scan center.
