Magnetic resonance imaging of the genitourinary tract.

Magnetic resonance imaging, in general, is in a state of evolution. This article demonstrates its potential use in the diagnosis of genitourinary pathology. Controlled studies will be required, however, in order to determine the place of this imaging modality in the vast array of imaging options currently available to the radiologist and urologic surgeon. It is expected that, in the not too distant future, the indications for magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of genitourinary disorders will become clear.
