A pelvis MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan is an imaging test that uses a machine with powerful magnets and radio waves to create pictures of the area between the hip bones. This part of the body is called the pelvic area.

It may be used to help diagnose or monitor treatment for a variety of conditions within the abdomen and pelvis. If you're pregnant, MRI may be used to safely monitor you or your baby. Tell your doctor about any health problems, recent surgeries or allergies and whether there's a possibility you are pregnant.

Standard MRI abdomen pulse sequences like T1, T2, T1 in-phase and out-phase, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), contrast-enhanced (CE), magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP).

MR of the Abdomen and Pelvis is performed to help evaluate problems that involve: Liver. Kidneys. Spleen.

It is a non–breath-hold sequence, which can be acquired in the axial and coronal plane in approximately one minute each. It is an effective localizer for a MRCP and phase-contrast imaging of the portal vein, as well as defining the vascular structures of the abdomen and pelvis.

An MRI sequence is a number of radiofrequency pulses and gradients that result in a set of images with a particular appearance. This article presents a simplified approach to recognizing common MRI sequences, but does not concern itself with the particulars of each sequence.

An MRI of the pelvis can help find problems such as tumours in the ovaries, uterus, prostate, rectum, and anus. It also can be used to look for an anal fistula (a tube-shaped passage from the anal canal to a hole in the skin near the anus) and look for the cause of pelvic pain in women, such as endometriosis.

A pelvic MRI can be used to help visualize and stage cervical, uterine, bladder, rectal, prostate, and testicular cancers, as well as diagnose pelvic abscesses. An abdominal MRI can detect and monitor cancers in abdominal organs, the adrenal glands, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, ureters, and intestines.
