MR Urography - Test, Procedure & Cost

MRI urography is a magnetic resonance technique to produce non-radiation-based scan images of your urinary system including your bladder, kidney, and ureters. The MRI urography scan utilises magnets that are strong enough to produce a magnetic field. These magnetic fields are the basic principle on which the MRI urography scanner operates.

The MRI urography scan is a diagnostic imaging technique that can be described as a magnetic resonance imaging scan of the urinary system. The MR urography scan is a magnetism-based scan that helps in the replication of internal structures in the form of images.

MRI urography scan is the diagnostic evaluation tool to find out abnormalities of the kidney and urinary system. The scan can help in the determination of renal malformations, identifications of ectopic ureters, hydronephrosis, etc. also in children having incontinence.

Yes, fasting for at least 4-5 hours is necessary before undergoing the MRI urography test is recommended. Also, you should not wear any metal jewellery for the scan as it might interfere with the scanning.

The CT urography uses ionising radiations to produce the scan images while the MR urography uses magnetism to produce scan images which makes it a safer choice than the CT urography scan.

You should avoid getting the scan when you have certain nonremovable devices inside your body that are medically relevant. These devices can be cardiac pacemakers, stents, pumps, etc.

The MRI urography scan uses non-radiation principles and non-invasive techniques to create images of your internal structures. The test is entirely safe, painless, and accurate in helping make the diagnosis.

MR Urography is a sensitive and an accurate diagnostic tool for determining infections and abnormalities associated with the natural urinary system. It has a sensitivity of 74%, a specificity of 97%, and an accuracy of 94%.
