Abstract: | Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the small bowel has become widely accepted at centers dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment
of inflammatory bowel disease, due to the method’s diagnostic efficacy. MR enteroclysis is an imaging modality that combines
the advantages of enteroclysis and multiplanar MR and allows the detection and the manifestations of small bowel diseases
wherever they are located (intraluminal, intramural, or extramural). Magnetic resonance enteroclysis (MRE) is an emerging
technique used for the detection and evaluation of small bowel neoplasms. This article illustrates the imaging appearances
of small bowel tumors on MRI and the usefulness of MR enteroclysis in the diagnosis and categorization of these tumors, also
discussing the role of MRE in comparison with other diagnostic modalities. |
