MRI Scan for Cancer Diagnosis in Eau Claire, Wausau, and Madison, WI

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detects and diagnoses cancer with the help of a powerful magnetic field and computer algorithms. Each MRI scan produces images of organs, tissues, and structures within your body that can be used to detect tumors or masses in different areas. These images are then analyzed by our board-certified radiologists who specialize in oncology imaging to provide an accurate diagnosis.

At Smart Scan, our advanced MRI technology can detect abnormalities in a wide range of areas, allowing for diagnoses of many types of cancer. This includes:

MRI for Brain Cancer: Brain cancer can have a wide range of symptoms and can be difficult to diagnose. Our oncology MRI scans provide detailed images of the brain, allowing us to detect tumors or masses that could be cancerous.
MRI for Abdominal Cancers: Abdominal cancers, such as colorectal and pancreatic cancer, can be hard to detect without an MRI. Our scans provide detailed images of the abdominal area, allowing us to accurately diagnose these types of cancers.
MRI for Pelvic Cancers: Pelvic cancers, such as cervical and ovarian cancer, are difficult to detect. Our MRI scans provide detailed images of the pelvis, allowing us to accurately detect and diagnose these types of cancers.
MRI for Bone Cancers: Bone cancers, such as osteosarcoma and chondrosarcoma, require detailed imaging to detect. Our MRI scans provide detailed images of the bones, allowing us to provide an accurate diagnosis.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is MRI in detecting cancer?

What does cancer look like on an MRI?

Cancer on an MRI scan typically looks like an abnormally enhancing mass. This can be caused by a tumor or mass that is not visible with other imaging tests.

Why do I need an MRI vs CT scan for cancer?
