Summary

The paper sums up the advantages and disadvantages of magnetic resonance imaging and describes its imaging potential. The article focuses mainly on new trends in magnetic resonance imaging including dynamic MRI, MR spectroscopic imaging, the potential of multichannel acquisition coils, diffusion MRI, MR hydrography and stress incontinence test.

KEY WORDS:
magnetic resonance imaging, dynamic MRI, MR spectroscopic imaging, MR hydrography, stress incontinence
