conclusion the dwmri is a useful technique for evaluating activity of fistulas with abscess. perianal fistula visibility is greater with combined t2wi and dwmri than t2wi alone. patients and methods fifty-three patients with 56 perianal fistulas were included in the current retrospective study. the t2-weighted imaging (t2wi) and dwmri were performed and apparent diffusion coefficient (adc) valu...
