Abstract:
We report a case of neuroenteric cysts in which the diagnosis was made prenatally by magnetic resonance imaging. These neuroenteric cysts are developmental anomalies of the alimentary tract in connection with midline neural structures that are usually diagnosed in the first decade of life. Magnetic resonance imaging not only helped to make the diagnosis early, but enabled appropriate counseling of the mother and follow-up of the infant so that planning of surgery was optimal.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Introduction:Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, can include a specialized imaging technique of the urinary system known as Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU). This radiation-free technique uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images with the help of a computer. MRU is particularly effective for visualizing fluid-filled structures like the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.Applications of MRI in the Genitourinary SystemKidneys and Ureters: MRI detects tumors, cysts,...
