MRI of lymph nodes is a method of studying the structure of lymph nodes. This type of diagnostics makes it possible to examine in detail the condition and presence of deviations from the norm in the lymph nodes. The principle of this method is as follows: under the influence of a strong magnetic field, and its interaction with the human body, a three-dimensional image is created
MRI of lymph nodes is a method of studying the structure of lymph nodes. This type of diagnostics makes it possible to examine in detail the condition and presence of deviations from the norm in the lymph nodes. The principle of this method is as follows: under the influence of a strong magnetic field, and its interaction with the human body, a three-dimensional image of the object of study is created from different angles. Which makes it possible to diagnose the disease as accurately as possible.

Indications for MRI of lymph nodes

Magnetic resonance imaging is prescribed in cases where it is not possible to examine the lymph or node in another way. There are a number of factors for this procedure:

  • enlarged lymph nodes after an infectious disease;
  • enlarged lymph nodes as a result of an autoimmune disease;
  • enlarged lymph nodes under the influence of oncological neoplasms.

Contraindications to magnetic resonance imaging

There are a number of restrictions for performing MRI of the lymph nodes:

  • the presence of pacemakers, electronic devices, metal foreign bodies in the patient's body;
  • pregnancy;
  • claustrophobia;
  • heart, kidney failure.

Features of preparation before the study

Preparatory measures depend on the area of the lymph nodes being examined. When diagnosing the abdominal lymph nodes, gas-forming foods should be excluded from the diet for 2-3 days, before the MRI, you should not eat and cleanse the intestines. It is also prohibited to use cosmetics, as they may contain metal particles, which can impair the clarity of the image. Immediately before the study, the patient removes all metal accessories and jewelry.
