==Overview==
MRI is an emerging imaging modality for the diagnosis of suspected intra-abdominal abscesses. MRI should be considered for acute abdomen due to hepatobiliary disease and gynecological disease for which a diagnosis is not obtained by ultrasonography and CT as well as for a pregnant woman for whom ultrasonography does not lead to a diagnosis.
[[MRI scan|MRI brain]] may be needful if the patient presents with [[encephalopathy]] to rule out other [[Brain mass causes|brain lesions and masses]].


==Key MRI Findings in Secondary peritonitis==
==MRI==
* Abdominal abscesses demonstrate decreased signal intensity on T1-weighted images and homogeneous or heterogeneous increased signal intensity on T2-weighted images;
*[[MRI scan|MRI brain]] may be needful if the patient presents with [[encephalopathy]] to rule out other [[Brain mass causes|brain lesions and masses]].
* Abscesses are observed best on gadolinium-enhanced, T1-weighted, fat-suppressed images as well-defined fluid collections with rim enhancement.
