Brief Answer:
hi and welcome
Detailed Answer:
Well different mri protocols are used for abdominal scan and stomach can't be visualized in routine spine scans. Also,stomach pain is evaluated with other diagnostic tests such as endoscopy or ultrasound. Of course,mri of abdomen is very sensitive and accurate but also expensive and I doubt that they will do it along with spine mri unless you have good indication for it.
