Magnetic Resonance of Small Bowel Tumors
2019
Tumors of the small intestine represent less than 5% of all gastrointestinal tract neoplasms. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is rapidly increasing clinical acceptance to evaluate the small bowel and can be the initial imaging method to investigate small bowel diseases. MR examinations may provide the first opportunity to detect and characterize tumors of the small bowel. Intraluminal and extraluminal MR findings, combined with contrast enhancement and functional information, allow accurate diagnoses and consequently characterization of small bowel neoplasms. This article describes the MR findings of primary small bowel neoplasms and the MR findings for the differential diagnosis are discussed.
