MRI
An MRI can also be useful in evaluating a patient who may have mesothelioma. MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. It uses radio waves and magnets to generate images, but no radiation. Like a CT scan, this can be done with or without intravenous contrast material.MRI’s are the best imaging scans to look at the diaphragm, the muscle between the chest and abdomen, which is often involved in mesothelioma.
