Overview

MRI is helpful in diagnosis causes of epistaxis, when the cause is unknown . It is not the first choice, but in children to avoid ionizing radiation, MRI is preferred. It is also helpful in patients with heavy and/or recurrent epistaxis.

CT scan

MRI is not usually used for epistaxis. In some patients when the cause is unknown and we can't use CT scan because of ionizing radiation, MRI is needed : [1] [2]
