T<sub>1<\/sub>-weighted fast spin echo (T<sub>1<\/sub>W FSE) images before and after gadolinium injection and fat suppressed T<sub>2<\/sub>-weighted fast spin echo (T<sub>2<\/sub>W FSE) images were obtained in transverse and coronal planes. MRI findings were correlated with surgical findings. <i>Results:<\/i> Twenty-one of the 26 patients demonstrated active fistulas. The MRI findings were in accordance with the examination findings under anesthesia and\/or surgery in 15 of 16 cases. Both coronal and transverse planes were useful in assessing the location and direction of tracts and abscesses. Both contrast-enhanced T<sub>1<\/sub>W FSE and fat-suppressed T<sub>2<\/sub>W FSE images were useful in assessing the activity of lesions and the course of tracts. <i>Conclusion:<\/i> MRI showed accurate correlation with surgical findings and aided in preoperative management and planning for surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000081923","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,12,20]],"date-time":"2004-12-20T14:46:58Z","timestamp":1103554018000},"page":"46-52","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Assessment of Perianal Fistulas"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"H.A.","family":"Al-Khawari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T.S.","family":"Sinan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B.","family":"Prakash","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Al-Amer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Al-Bolushi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,12,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2Fbjs.1800630102"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2FBF01658054"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0009-9260%2898%2980053-6"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2FBF02054434"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs003300050248"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2FBF02054416"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0009-9260%2805%2982906-X"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0016-5107%2890%2971061-9"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2FBF02049995"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2FBF02552656"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055%2Fs-2007-1010409"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2FBF02237196"}],"container-title":["Medical Principles and Practice"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/81923","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/81923","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T03:17:45Z","timestamp":1745464665000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000081923"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2004,12,15]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,2,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000081923","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1011-7571","1423-0151"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1011-7571","type":"print"},{"value":"1423-0151","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2004,12,15]]}}}
