Abstract

Combining the advantages of unsurpassed soft tissue contrast and lack of ionizing radiation, MR imaging of the gastrointestinal tract has become increasingly used clinically. Both bowel inflammation and tumor disease of the large bowel can be well visualized by means of MR colonography (MRC). This article describes current techniques of MRC and gives an overview of its clinical outcome. Special focus is directed toward the evaluation of patients' acceptance of MRC.
