Abstract:BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging is known to demonstrate the perianal anatomy accurately. MR Fistulography with saline as contrast agent has been described to facilitate the detection of fistula tracks. We wanted to study the diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of magnetic resonance fistulography using saline as a contrast agent using surgical findings as a reference standard. METHODS Fifty-nine clinically diagnosed cases of perianal fistulae who were se… Show more
