Overview

The investigation of anorectal disorders has become a very wide field reaching from case history and simple plain radiography to advanced techniques such as defaecography, nuclear medicine, endosonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Yet the place and value of defaecography, the demonstration of bowel evacuation, have not previously been clearly defined. In this volume, radiologists experienced in this field describe the techniques, radiation risks, and interpretation of normal and abnormal findings using the investigative methods just mentioned. Anorectal surgeons and gastroenterologists join in discussing the indications and influence of abnormal findings on patient management. This book will serve as a practical guide to the choice, performance, and interpretation of the appropriate investigation for a patient with functional anorectal disorders.
