Magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) of the pelvic area is performed to exclude the presence of small metastases in the lowest part of the abdominal cavity.

During an MRT you will be placed inside a tube. Sectional images are taken from your pelvic area using a magnefic field. Magnetic resonance varies between tissues and therefore allowes imaging of organs ans soft tissues. The only side effect  is a general feeling of discomfort experienced by some people whilst inside the ‘tube’ which ist more narrow than in CT. Moreover, there is some noise within the tube.

If you suffer from claustrophobia, inform the medical staff before the procedure in order to undertake preventative measures.
