MRI Enterography in Dubai at DRHC Dubai

At Dr. Rami Hamed Center (DRHC) in Dubai, we offer MRI Enterography – a state-of-the-art, non-invasive imaging technique specially designed to evaluate the small intestine. This advanced MRI scan is particularly valuable in diagnosing and monitoring Crohn’s disease and other forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

What is MRI Enterography?

MRI Enterography (MRE) is a specialized magnetic resonance imaging test that provides high-resolution images of the bowel and surrounding abdominal structures. Unlike traditional imaging methods, MRE does not involve ionizing radiation, making it safer, especially for young adults and patients needing regular monitoring.

At DRHC, this advanced diagnostic test helps visualize inflammation, strictures, fistulas, abscesses, and other bowel complications in real-time, helping guide targeted treatment plans for gastrointestinal conditions.

Conditions Evaluated with MRI Enterography

MRI Enterography is most commonly used for the assessment of:

• Crohn’s Disease
  Detects inflammation, bowel wall thickening, and complications like fistulas or strictures.
• Ulcerative Colitis (in some cases)
  Helps in assessing disease extension beyond the colon.
• Small Bowel Tumors or Masses
  Aids in identifying tumors or abnormal growths within the small intestine.
• Unexplained Abdominal Pain
  Provides detailed anatomical and functional information when other tests are inconclusive.
• Suspected Obstruction or Abscesses
  Accurately locates and defines the nature of blockages or localized infections.
