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.
Key MRI Findings in Secondary peritonitis
- Abdominal abscesses demonstrate decreased signal intensity on T1-weighted images and homogeneous or heterogeneous increased signal intensity on T2-weighted images;
- Abscesses are observed best on gadolinium-enhanced, T1-weighted, fat-suppressed images as well-defined fluid collections with rim enhancement.
