An oesophageal stricture is a narrowing of the food pipe that can make swallowing gradually more difficult. It can develop from ongoing reflux, inflammation, or other causes. An MRI may show changes in the oesophageal lining and surrounding structures consistent with narrowing. Finding an oesophageal stricture early may allow for treatment before swallowing difficulties become severe. Endoscopy is the primary tool for oesophageal assessment, however MRI contributes to evaluation of surrounding structures.
