Abstract

MR imaging has achieved a level of maturation that has rendered it the most accurate imaging modality for investigating diseases of the abdomen. With new imaging techniques and correlative studies, MRI findings have come close to matching histopathological findings regarding abdominal disease. In this section, we present the current MRI techniques and findings for the most common abdominal disease entities.
