Rectal bleeding: Causes of rectal bleeding can be fissure, hemorrhoid, proctitis or diverticulosis. Typically bleeding from hemorrhoids or fissure is with stool,but is larger bleeding can be on a more regular basis. Likely getting checked would be the best way to find out.

MRI is not the optimal way to diagnose colonic bleeding. Your doctor can start by examining the anus, and rectum and if need be perform a colonoscopy.
