mri enterography - Sports Zone
MRI Enterography (or MRE) is an exam that helps your doctor see your small intestines.

The primary purpose of MRI enterography is to detect and characterize various abnormalities within the small bowel.

This includes identifying inflammation, narrowed sections known as strictures, abnormal connections called fistulas, and other structural changes. MRI enterography or small bowel scan uses an MRI scanner to produce images of the small bowel. The ideal preparation for this is to drink enough liquid to fill the small bowel so we can see it better on the scan. We use a preparation called ‘Klean-Prep’.
