Cystitis MRI

Overview
Overview
MRI is not used in the routine diagnosis of cystitis. An MRI can help diagnose a tumor or a stone in the bladder that is leading to stasis and thus to the inflammation and infection of the bladder. Inflammation and edema can also be noticed by the help of an MRI. MRI is sometimes used to diagnose cystitis glandularis. Imaging findings for chronic hemorrhagic cystitis due to radiation include a fibrosed bladder with a thick wall, hydronephrosis and rarely, calcifications.
