MRI of the bile ducts is a modern diagnostic method that, absolutely safely for the patient, allows us to diagnose the presence of pathologies and disorders in the functioning of the gallbladder and its ducts. Under the influence of magnetic resonance, a strong electromagnetic field is created that interacts with the human body, resulting in an image of the area being examined being displayed on the screen.

In order to exclude or confirm the presence of oncologic formations and changes in the structure of the object under study, intravenous administration of a contrast agent is prescribed immediately before magnetic resonance imaging. This makes it possible to maximally visualize the image and conduct accurate diagnostics.
