Comparison of multi-phase contrast-enhanced T1-weighted volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination and fat-suppressed T2-weighted combined with diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in anal fistula evaluation
This study elucidates that the multi-phase CE-FS-T1-3D-VIBE imaging sequence potentially represents a more effective noninvasive alternative for the precise evaluation of the positioning and clarity of the internal opening, as well as the delineation of primary and secondary fistula tracts in anal fistula patients, compared to the FS-T2WI-DWI sequence. This enhanced diagnostic capability underscores the utility of multi-phase CE-FS-T1-3D-VIBE in improving the clinical management of anal fistulas.
