A novel diagnostic aid for intra-abdominal adhesion detection in cine-MRI: pilot study and initial diagnostic impressions

摘要

Objective: A non-invasive diagnostic technique for abdominal adhesions is not currently available. Capture of abdominal motion due to respiration in cine-MRI has shown promise, but is difficult to interpret. This article explores the value of a complimentary diagnostic aid to facilitate the non-invasive detection of abdominal adhesions using cine-MRI.
