While computed tomography (CT) offers faster cross-sectional imaging in the emergency department, owing to its concerns for higher radiation exposure, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) applications in acute settings are increasingly validated. A significant proportion of patients present to the emergency department with abdominopelvic symptoms, most commonly acute abdominal pain. Early detection with imaging and timely intervention can significantly decrease morbidity and mortality in conditions such as acute pancreatitis or ovarian torsion. MRI encompasses better soft-tissue resolution, nonusage of ionizing radiation and iodinated contrast media, nonoperator dependency, and higher reproducibility. This review discusses the MRI protocols and applications in abdominopelvic emergencies.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D010195 Pancreatitis INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS. Pancreatitis is classified as acute unless there are computed tomographic or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic findings of CHRONIC PANCREATITIS (International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis, Atlanta, 1992). The two most common forms of acute pancreatitis are ALCOHOLIC PANCREATITIS and gallstone pancreatitis.

D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.
