MRI FISTULOGRAM

MRI Fistulogram An MRI Fistulogram is an advanced imaging test used to evaluate and map fistula tracts, most commonly anal fistulas. This specialized MRI scan provides highly detailed images of soft tissues, helping doctors identify the location, extent, and complexity of the fistula and any associated abscesses or secondary tracts. At Focus Diagnostics, we use high-resolution MRI technology to provide precise fistula mapping, enabling surgeons and gastroenterologists to plan the most effective treatment or surgical intervention. MRI fistulography is considered the gold standard imaging method for diagnosing complex fistulas because it offers superior soft-tissue contrast compared to traditional imaging methods. Why MRI Fistulogram is Done Doctors recommend an MRI fistulogram to: Detect and evaluate anal fistulas Identify primary and secondary fistula tracts Detect abscesses or infections Assess recurrent fistulas Map the fistula before surgical treatment Evaluate complications in Crohn’s disease Advantages of MRI Fistulogram Non-invasive and painless Highly accurate fistula mapping Detects hidden or complex fistula tracts Helps surgeons plan precise treatment No radiation exposure Preparation for MRI Fistulogram Most patients require minimal preparation for this scan. Patients may be advised to: Inform the doctor about metal implants, pacemakers, or surgical clips Remove metal objects before the scan Follow instructions if contrast dye is required Our staff at Focus Diagnostics ensures a comfortable and smooth scanning experience. Procedure During the MRI fistulogram: The patient lies on the MRI scanner table. Specialized MRI sequences are used to capture detailed pelvic images. In some cases, contrast dye may be injected to improve visualization. The scan usually takes 20–30 minutes.
