title: Imaging strategies for MRI of the pelvis.
abstract: Appropriate patient triage of pelvic diseases depends upon a problem-solving approach as outlined in this article. Whether MRI is chosen as an adjunct to US or CT or as the primary modality, as in the staging of malignancy, imaging strategies for pelvic MRI can be tailored to the organ of interest and to the clinical question being asked.
