Overview

Chest, abdomen, and pelvic MRI scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of EMPD.

MRI

  • An MRI uses magnetic fields but it is a different type of image than what is produced by computed tomography (CT) and produces detailed images of the body. Like computed tomography (CT), a contrast agent may be injected into a patient’s vein to create a better picture.
  • MRI can confirm the exact location of the cancer and show the organs nearby, as well as lymph nodes and distant organs where the cancer might have spread.
  • MRI is helpful for determining the stage of the cancer and in determining whether surgery is a good treatment option.
  • MRI can also be used to guide biopsy and a biopsy sample is usually removed and looked at under a microscope.
