title: Evaluation of the gastrointestinal tract in the child: CT, MRI, and isotopic studies.
abstract: The gastrointestinal radiologist no longer has to rely on indirect signs of extraluminal and solid organ pathology. With the use of the newer imaging modalities, including computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and isotopic techniques, the entire abdomen and its contents can be directly visualized. Pathology, its extent and its effect on adjacent structures, can be readily appreciated.
