[Magnetic resonance tomography of the lesser pelvis. Clinical application in disparity with technology].
Technological innovations which change diagnostic routines are continually being introduced in medical care, as exemplified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with its advanced diagnostic capacity, now considered indispensible for the investigation of many disorders of the central nervous system. The article consists in an outline of applications of MRI in the investigation of the lower abdomen, a field characterised by substantial technical improvements in recent years, and a brief review of subject literature. Based on their experience of pelvic MRI, the authors advocate its more frequent use in investigating disorders of the lesser pelvis.
