“…The diagnostic value of such VC views was established in an in vitro study using ex vivo colonic specimen. Regarding the detection of polyps, virtual endoscopic viewing rendered vastly improved sensitivity and specificity values (87 and 96 %, respectively) compared with mere exoscopic inspection of the individual cross-sectional images alone [59]. The diagnostic performance of MR colonography based on 3D data sets was recently assessed in a prospective study, encompassing 132 patients referred to conventional colonoscopy for suspected colonic mass lesions.…”

Driven by the improvements in gradient technology, breathhold T1- and T2-weighted imaging of the abdominal structures has become possible. These techniques allow exploitation of the advantages inherent to the MR imaging experiment: unsurpassed soft tissue contrast and multiplanar imaging capabilities. Magnetic resonance imaging of the small and large bowel has thus moved from a hypothetical possibility to a practical reality. This manuscript describes some of the underlying fast imaging techniques for display of the small and large bowel. Furthermore, it discusses the plethora of available oral and rectal contrast agents. Finally, clinical indications for MR of the small and large bowel as well as the rectum are described in light of the available literature. Advantages and disadvantages relative to computed tomography and other imaging techniques are discussed.

IntroductionColon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the western world. 1 Several risk factors predispose a person to develop colon cancer. 2 Adenomatous colorectal polyps, which are found in 30-50% of Americans more than 50 years old, are recognized as important precursors of malignancy. Probably most of the invasive colon carcinomas arise from polyps. An early polyp removal has been shown to reduce mortality from colon cancer by 25-50%. For this reason the early detection of these polyps and their complete removal is a recognized strategy for the prevention of colon cancer. 3,4 So far no single method for an early diagnosis of colon polyps or colon cancer including faecal occult blood testing (FOBT), proctosigmoidoscopy, double contrast barium enema (fluoroscopy) or conventional endoscopy offers high sensi- Radiol Oncol 2007; 41(1): 1-12. doi:10.2478/v10019-007-
