Abstract:
This review describes coils for MRI that are inserted into the body through natural orifices. It covers the design and implementation of small internal receiver coils for use in the pelvis and gastrointestinal tract. Normal anatomy delineated by the high resolution obtained by using these coils and the appearances in a number of disease states for each clinical application are described.
