With the advent of gradient systems the image quality of ultrafast pulse sequences, i.e., half Fourier acquisition single shot turbo spin echo (HASTE), true fast imaging with steady-state processing and fast low angle shot (FLASH), improved substantially and clinical applications including small bowel imaging became feasible. Within this context, magnetic resonance enteroclysis was developed as a comprehensive examination of the small bowel, providing luminal, transmural, and exoenteric diagnostic information of small bowel abnormalities. Clinical applications of magnetic resonance enteroclysis include diagnostic evaluation and follow-up of patients with inflammatory or neoplastic diseases and small bowel obstruction.
