Diaphragmatic hernia

Chest

Abdomen & Pelvis

A diaphragmatic hernia happens when abdominal organs push up through an opening in the diaphragm into the chest. Some are present from birth while others develop over time. An MRI may show changes in the position of structures near the diaphragm. Identifying a diaphragmatic hernia early allows for monitoring and surgical planning if needed.

SCReening explained

It’s important to understand that OneMRI's full-body scan is a general proactive health scan developed to include areas where preventative screening delivers the most meaningful insight in a way that is safe and non-invasive. The scan should be used to compliment other routine scans and screening. It should not replace standard screening protocols or targeted procedures as recommended by your doctor, specialist or health provider. Examples of these include mammogram, prostate examination, cervical screening, colonoscopy, and lung cancer screening.
