  • Title: Assessment of gastrointestinal motor functions by MRI: a comprehensive review.
    Author: Marciani L.
    Journal: Neurogastroenterol Motil; 2011 May; 23(5):399-407. PubMed ID: 21276139.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a useful technique for evaluating gastrointestinal (GI) motor functions because it provides multi-planar imaging capability, high imaging speed, good spatial resolution and excellent soft tissue contrast. Moreover, multiple parameters of GI function can be assessed non-invasively during a single study. PURPOSE: This critical review of the literature discusses the strengths and limitations of MRI for evaluating GI motor functions.
