Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is rapidly emerging as a useful imaging modality for the evaluation of the gastrointestinal tract. Increasingly rapid sequences and improving hardware have significantly improved the visualisation of diseases of the colon. MRI has a major advantage over CT in that there is no ionising radiation. In our institution, MRI has increasingly been used as a complimentary imaging modality to CT in the diagnosis and evaluation of diverticulitis and its complications. In this review article, we illustrate the emerging role of MRI in the diagnosis and evaluation of colonic diverticulitis.
磁共振成像（MRI）正迅速成为评估胃肠道的一种有用的成像方式。日益快速的序列和不断改进的硬件显著提高了结肠疾病的可视化程度。MRI相对于CT具有一个主要优势，即不存在电离辐射。在我们机构，MRI越来越多地被用作CT的补充成像方式，用于憩室炎及其并发症的诊断和评估。在这篇综述文章中，我们阐述了MRI在结肠憩室炎诊断和评估中日益重要的作用。
