Magnetic resonance techniques for imaging the gastrointestinal (GI) tract continue to evolve as a result of rapid technical improvement. This review discusses the diagnostic and technical requirements for optimal bowel imaging and to what extent MR is capable of fulfilling these in comparison with established X-ray techniques. New approaches that have recently been demonstrated for the esophagus as well as small and large bowel are described. These developments indicate that MR imaging of the GI tract is likely to make the transition from research development to routine clinical application.
由于技术的快速进步，用于胃肠道（GI）成像的磁共振技术不断发展。本综述讨论了优化肠道成像的诊断和技术要求，以及与已确立的X射线技术相比，磁共振在多大程度上能够满足这些要求。文中还描述了最近在食管以及小肠和大肠中展示的新方法。这些进展表明，胃肠道的磁共振成像可能会从研究开发过渡到常规临床应用。
