At City Imaging (MRA Whole Abdomen), we utilise cutting-edge imaging technology to provide highly accurate diagnostic results, as well as provide clinically effective treatment options. If a doctor wants to generate a detailed vascular map of a specific region that will require surgical intervention (repair), then he/she may require an MRI of the entire abdomen. The approximate cost for an MRI of the entire abdomen is between Rs 10,000 to Rs 22,000.

These images, which will include arteries and veins that supply blood to such organs as your liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen and intestines, and your abdominal wall, will be used by your doctor to help them plan your treatment.
