MRI-1.5T of Cervical MRI (soft tissues) with contrast

About the investigation

MRI with contrast of soft tissues in the cervical region is a non-invasive and non-radiating method used to assess soft tissues in the neck region. The administration of the contrast substance is useful for further analysis of lesions detected in native exploration.

Scope of investigation

MRI investigation dedicated to visualizing soft structures in the neck, usually indicated in diseases of the pharynx, larynx, muscle or connective structures of the neck, and often for the evaluation of lymph nodes at this level or salivary glands.

Preparation for investigation

MRI of soft tissues of the neck with contrast does not require special prior preparation or a rehabilitation period after the procedure, so you can continue your normal daily activities. However, it is recommended not to eat or drink about 2-3 hours before the investigation. Women are recommended to remove make-up before the investigation, because some cosmetics contain various metal powders that can interfere with the image. Before the investigation, the nurse will ask you to remove all metal objects (glasses, watch, magnetic cards, jewelry, etc.), because they can be quickly attracted by the magnetic field. Be sure to tell your doctor if you have any kind of metal implant (cardiac stent, pacemaker, IUD), because it may not work properly after MRI and may pose threat to your life. It is useful to bring any medical documents in case of diagnosed diseases.
