Abstract
OBJECTIVE. MR enteroclysis has been introduced in the workup of small-bowel diseases. The major advantage of this technique over others is the combined visualization of luminal, mural, and extramural abnormalities. In this article we propose an MR enteroclysis protocol, present a stepwise approach for evaluation of these examinations, and discuss the different inflammatory conditions that can be detected. CONCLUSION. MR enteroclysis can be considered the current first-line imaging technique for inflammatory small-bowel disorders.
