Rapid acquisition axial and coronal T2 HASTE MR in the evaluation of acute abdominal pain

Conclusion This study demonstrates that rapid acquisition axial and coronal T2 HASTE MR is a practical, safe and effective method in the diagnosis of acute abdominal pain. MR is the preferred option to CT in patients of an age prone to radiation with a potential surgical diagnosis. Clinical relevance/application MRI in acute abdominal imaging is both effective and practical and is the preferred imaging option in patients of an age prone to radiation with a potential surgical diagnosis.
