A member asked:
Why did my doctor make me get a small bowel mri with contrast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MR enteroclysis: is a highly specialized exam for detailed examination of the inside surface of the small bowel. The radiologist gets a very good look at the intestine to see if there are polyps, masses, strictures or inflammatory wall thickening. The reason for your exam depends upon your symptoms. You should feel comfortable asking your doctor the reason for your exam.
