Hello,
I would like to tell you that an MRI is done to know various factors like the location of the polyp, it's extent etcetera. It's a diagnosing tool and not a treatment. So doing an MRI does not depend on whether the polyp is benign or malignant. It will help to diagnose your condition properly and also help to decide the further course of action.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
