Hi! My child has to get a cardiac MRI after having an abdominal one earlier this year. I was told these had to be separate, that they can't be done at the same time and I was wondering why? They both have contrast and while they're looking at different things, they're for the same clinic/group of doctors. They share files, notes, everything concerning his care. The heart and liver are pretty close to each other...

Don't know if this has anything to do with it, but he has HLHS and has Fontan circulation. We're starting to see signs of Fontan associated liver disease (abdominal) and they're doing the cardiac MRI instead of a Cath (we'll still do a Cath in a few years).
