Abstract

With the development of techniques to limit respiratory and bowel motion, attenuate high signal of adjacent fat, and decrease susceptibility artifacts, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has joined computed tomography (CT) as a diagnostic modality for the evaluation of the colon and rectum. Nevertheless, despite the inherent strengths of MR imaging, specifically high soft tissue contrast and multiplanar imaging capability, controversy still exists on the clinical utility of MR imaging in comparison to other imaging modalities like helical CT and endosonography.
