Application Of MRI In Diagnosis Of Gastrointestinal Tract Diseases

ABSTRACT

This study, carried out during the period from December 2014 to February 2015 .the aim of this study was to applied of MRI protocol in diagnosis the GIT diseases specially the inflammatory bowel diseases. The 30 random cases of patient came to the MRI department with request for MRI Enterology examination .MRI machine used in this study were: alribat university hospital used closed magnet ,sign high definition with magnetic field strength (1.5 t) (Magnetom Sonata, Siemens Medical Systems, Erlangen, Germany). From this study result the best protocol to visualize, detection and diagnose the gastrointestinal tract diseases specially the inflammatory bowel disease by using MR Enterology protocol, used 2D (Sagittal, axial) T2 Trufi BH, 2D coronal T2 True FISP BH,. axial T2 Tse MBH, 3D coronal T1 FS, Gadolinium enhanced T1, and the oral contrast is mannitol 2.5% with 1500ml of water All patients scanned by MRI 16 (53.3%) were male and 14 (46.7%) female. The age of the subject ranged from 24 to 60 years. The study concluded that MR Enterology protocol best in detection and diagnose the gastrointestinal tract diseases specially the inflammatory bowel disease and the communally sequence use is 2D coronal a fast T2-weighted steady state precession sequence (True FISP).26.7% male more affected inflammatory bowel disease than female 10%.
