Endocavitary MRI of the Pelvis. Ed. by N M deSouza, pp. 114, 2001 (Harwood Academic Publishers, Amsterdam, The Netherlands), £38.00 ISBN 90-5823-100-3

Over the last decade, MRI has played an increasingly important role in the investigation of pelvic pathology, including the staging of gynaecological malignancies and prostate tumours. However, endocavitary MRI is performed in relatively few centres and has been more of a research tool. This slim volume summarizes the latest developments in endocavitary pelvic MRI scanning and is a timely contribution to the literature on this rapidly evolving technique.

There is an excellent introductory chapter on the MRI physics of cavity coils. The subsequent chapters cover imaging of the cervix, prostate, rectum and bladder neck with endocavitary pelvic coils. The anatomical demonstrations are superb and, in general, the quality of the MR images of pathology are high. Each chapter is well referenced and the imaging protocols will be useful for units hoping to start up this service. All the contributors to this book are experts who have communicated their experience succinctly. This book is an excellent introduction to endocavitary MRI and deserves to be in all MRI department libraries.
