Overview

Diagnostic imaging of the abdominal cavity and the gastrointestinal tract is increasingly performed by new-emerged fast MR imaging sequences and it is moving to the centers of magnetic resonance. Our work is devoted to the examination of the small intestine by magnetic resonance, so-called MR enterography. Review discusses general description - from preparation of patient to basic pathological findings, with special focus on currently most investigated small intestine disease – Crohn‘s disease.

Key words:
Crohn‘s disease – enteroclysis – MR enterography
