Oesophageal varices

Chest

Abdomen & Pelvis

Oesophageal varices are enlarged veins in the lining of the food pipe, most commonly linked to liver disease and increased pressure in the portal vein system. They can develop without symptoms but carry a risk of serious bleeding. An MRI may show changes in the oesophageal venous structures consistent with varices. Finding oesophageal varices early allows for monitoring and treatment that may help reduce the risk of life-threatening bleeding.

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.
