It makes no difference whether it is closed bore or not. The imaging principle remains the same.
It is the contrast agent that enhances the images.

MRI contrast agents do not contain iodine and rarely cause allergic reactions or other problems.
A CT of the abdomen and pelvis was performed utilizing contiguous axial images prior to contrast administration. Additional delayed images were also obtained.

Hi all. I recently had a back mri scan with the use of contrast dye as I had a discectomy November 2018 . I paid for the scan image on cd but haven’t had the results yet. Obviously I’m not medically trained so have no idea what the images look like however I wondered if anyone know what the few blobs are on a image that are next to the spine? As they came back as a white glow.

I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in the colon when a CT Colonography

reveals the presence of a few scattered high signal foci in the deep white matter bilaterally on T2 weighted images and FLAIR without corresponding findings of T1 weighted images.

Hi. I'm 26, female, BMI=26. I've been having dull pain and pressure in under my rib cage on the left side and in my lower back for a couple of years now. The first time this happened, I had abdominal and pelvic ultrasounds and they found some fairly large functional ovarian cysts. Those soon shrunk to almost nothing, while the pain has increased. I've had a number of blood tests and everything has come back fine.
My doctor has now ordered a CT scan.
If you are concerned about the small dose of radiation from a CT scan ask for an MRI. It is much more expensive but can perform the same function with even higher resolution then a CT scan. MRI scan are many times used after HCC is diagnosed to assess small changes in the cancer's status. Of course make sure your health insurance will cover the MRI scan.
The chances of developing HCC is you don't have cirrhosis are very low. Typically only cirrhotics are screened for HCC.
