| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was to define the detailed anatomy of gastrointestinal wall structure in vivo using original endoluminal radiofrequency coils. Gastric and esophageal wall structure was discriminated in the endoluminal MR imaging. Additionally, it was possible to visualize the vascular structures in the submucosal layer. Endoluminal MR imaging is an useful method for the staging diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancers.
