Unless there is (are) suspicious lesion(s) which could not defined by CT scan and that (those) finding(s) need(s) to be clarified by MRI or laparoscopy I would go first with MRI. However, if there is no abnormal finding by 2 CTs and US, I am not sure what MRI or laparoscopy could offer and your pain could be due to a functional disorder of the GI tract.
