title: Small bowel imaging with MRI.
abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has evolved as a powerful tool for the assessment of the small bowel. Strengths of MRI include the superb soft-tissue contrast, lack of radiation exposure, and the implementation of fast scanning techniques. Clinically relevant findings such as inflammation and tumor disease can be well-depicted. We describe in this article current techniques of small bowel MRI including its implementation and clinical outcome in comparison to other radiological and endoscopic procedures.
