MRI of the peritoneum: spectrum of abnormalities

Khaled M Elsayes et al. AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2006 May.

Abstract

Objective: Our objective was to detail peritoneal anatomy, techniques for optimizing peritoneal MRI, and the MRI characteristics of several disease processes that frequently involve the peritoneum.

Conclusion: Homogeneous fat suppression and dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging, including delayed imaging, are critical technical factors for successful lesion detection and characterization on peritoneal MRI.
