Bowel Imaging

Suresh Mukherji and I are pleased to present this latest issue of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinics of North America that covers the topic of bowel MR imaging. The guest editor, Jordi Rimola, MD, PhD, is a well-respected abdominal imager from the Hospital Clinic Barcelona in Spain. In addition to himself, he has assembled an impressive cadre of authors from prestigious American and European institutions. These luminaries include Mahmoud Al-Hawary from University of Michigan, Cynthia Santillan from UC San Diego, Joseph Yacoub and Ayetkin Oto from Northwestern University in Chicago, Gabriele Masselli from Umberto I Hospital in Rome, Japp Stoker from the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, Michael Torkzad from Uppsala University in Sweden, and Dirk Vanbeckevoort from University of Leuven in Belgium. The topics are timely and the material is cutting edge. With increasing use of MR imaging for bowel imaging made possible by improvements in hardware and software, and the lack of ionizing radiation compared to CT, this compendium of information could not have come out at a better time. We thank all of the authors for their excellent contributions.
