Endoluminal MR Imag - ing of the Rectum and Anus : Technique , Ap - plications , and Pitfalls 1
Anorectal diseases (eg, fecal incontinence, perianal and anovaginal fistulas, anorectal tumors) require imaging for proper case management. Endoluminal magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has become an important part of diagnostic work-up in such cases. Optimal endoluminal MR imaging requires careful attention to patient preparation, imaging protocols, and potential pitfalls in interpretation. Comf...
متن کاملMeasurement of anal sphincter muscles: endoanal US, endoanal MR imaging, or phased-array MR imaging? A study with healthy volunteers.
PURPOSE To compare endoanal ultrasonography (US), endoanal magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and phased-array MR imaging for anal sphincter muscle measurement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty healthy volunteers underwent 1.5-T phased-array MR, endoanal MR, and endoanal US examinations. Sphincter muscle thicknesses were measured. Measurement reliability was analyzed, and correlations among the imag...
متن کاملClinical value of endoluminal ultrasonography in the diagnosis of rectovaginal fistula
BACKGROUND Rectovaginal fistula (RVF) refers to a pathological passage between the rectum and vagina, which is a public health challenge. This study was aimed to explore the clinical value of endoluminal biplane ultrasonography in the diagnosis of rectovaginal fistula (RVF). METHODS Thirty inpatients and outpatients with suspected RVF from January 2006 to June 2013 were included in the study,...
متن کاملMRI in Colorectal Surgery: Endoluminal MR Imaging of Anorectal Diseases
Several common anorectal diseases—fecal incontinence, complex and recurrent perianal fistulas, and rectal tumors—require imaging for proper management. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become a valuable alternative to endosonography, with superiority in several aspects of diagnosis and management. Initially, MRI with the use of a body coil and surface coil MRI were introduced. Although the ...
متن کاملHigh resolution magnetic resonance imaging of the anal sphincter using an internal coil.
An internal receiver coil was used to obtain high resolution transverse and oblique coronal magnetic resonance images of the anal sphincter in five normal volunteers and five patients. The internal sphincter had a high signal intensity on T1 weighted, T2 weighted, and STIR sequences whereas the conjoined longitudinal muscle and external sphincter had a low signal intensity. The internal sphinct...
