Assessment of gastrointestinal motor functions by MRI: a comprehensive review

Background  Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a useful technique for evaluating gastrointestinal (GI) motor functions because it provides multi‐planar imaging capability, high imaging speed, good spatial resolution and excellent soft tissue contrast. Moreover, multiple parameters of GI function can be assessed non‐invasively during a single study.
