Assessment of the (patho)physiology of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is important for diagnosis and treatment monitoring of gastrointestinal diseases. Due to its location in the body, it's length and physiology, the GI tract is a complicated organ to investigate. Standard measurement methods, like manometry, are invasive and cannot assess the entire GI tract. Therefore MR motility methods are on the rise. This educational talk will review the existing and emerging techniques to capture and quantify motility with cine-MRI and explore the clinical implementation.
