MRI Cholangiogram
An MRI Cholangiogram is a specialized imaging procedure designed to visualize the bile ducts, gallbladder, and surrounding structures. Using advanced magnetic fields and radio waves, this non-invasive technique offers detailed, high-resolution images without the use of harmful radiation. It is especially effective in diagnosing conditions like bile duct blockages, gallstones, tumors, infections, or congenital abnormalities.
Unlike traditional cholangiography, which may require endoscopy or surgery, an MRI Cholangiogram is painless, safe, and highly accurate. If you’re experiencing symptoms such as jaundice, abdominal pain, or digestive issues, this imaging test provides critical insights to guide your treatment plan. Schedule your MRI Cholangiogram with Medifyome today for a reliable and comfortable diagnostic experience.
