Can MRI detect stomach cancer?

Magnetic resonance imaging can detect gastric cancer, but during the diagnosis process, it is also necessary to combine individual clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, X-ray or CT examinations, gastroscopy, etc. to determine the diagnosis.

In clinical medicine, MRI is a common imaging examination, which mainly uses professional MRI instruments to scan the diseased area and then obtain images of the scanned area. It helps to understand whether there is a lesion in the examination area, the range and severity, and provide corresponding basis for subsequent diagnosis and treatment. It is generally suitable for examination of various parts of the body, so it is also possible to find gastric cancer.

However, when diagnosing gastric cancer, it is necessary not only to rely on MRI, but also to ask about medical history, combined with personal clinical manifestations, such as black stool or vomiting blood, abdominal discomfort, dysphagia, etc. At the same time, laboratory tests, including biopsy pathology, blood tests, etc., and other imaging tests, such as gastroscopy, CT scan, X-ray, etc., can more accurately judge the disease.

Due to individual differences, it is recommended to choose appropriate examination items according to personal actual conditions under the guidance of a professional doctor, and do not choose blindly. After the disease is diagnosed, actively receive treatment.
