Abstract
Cine cardiac MRI is generally accepted as the "gold-standard" for functional myocardial assessment. It only took a few years after the development of commercial MRI systems for functional cardiac imaging to be developed, with electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated cine imaging first reported in 1988. The function of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is more complex to study compared to the heart. However, the idea of having a non-invasive tool to study the GI function that also allows the concurrent assessment of different aspects of this function has become more and more attractive in the gastroenterological field. This review summarises key literature of the last 5 years to describe the current status of MRI in respect to the evaluation of GI function, highlighting the gaps and challenges and the future prospects. As the clinical application of a new technique requires that its clinical utility is confirmed by demonstration of its ability to enable clinicians to make a diagnosis and/or predict the treatment response, this review also considers whether or not this has been achieved, and how MRI has been validated against techniques currently recognised as the gold standard in clinical practice.
