Summary:Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a very promising modality for evaluation of the pelvis. Its major role appears likely to be the staging of known malignancies. In this article, the appearance of normal pelvic anatomy on MR scans is presented, as well as a discussion of the use of MRI in the detection and evaluation of pathologic conditions and a comparison of MRI with CT.
