title: MR colonography: status and perspective.
abstract: With further improvements in multislice CT, enabling now the combination of lung and colon imaging within one breathhold with automated dose optimization, MR colonography has almost been given up. But similar to angiography, we are optimistic that MR can be compatible to CT in colonography and report in this article on the current status and perspective of MR colonography.
