title: MRI of the abdomen.
abstract: Clinical MRI of the body has not so far produced results consistently comparable with X-ray CT or high-resolution real-time ultrasound. Present development in MRI technology (new sequences, respiratory gating) and the application of paramagnetic contrast agents are however promising features. MRI might play a useful rôle also in abdominal examination.
