The rectum is the part of the gastrointestinal tract in which MRI studies are most successful. The superb soft tissue contrast and multiplanar imaging capacity of this technique help characterize rectal disorders and allow visualization of the perirectal area. MRI has been used mainly to study rectal carcinoma and to assess the involvement of tumors of pelvic origin. But MRI has an important role to play in a number of non-plastic rectal diseases in adults, including congenital and developmental diseases, inflammatory and infectious diseases, vascular diseases and lesions of endometriosis. Accurate diagnosis of these conditions is crucial as it can significantly change clinical management. The purpose of this pictorial test is to review the diseases involving the rectal wall, highlighting the main characteristics of clinical or radiological differentiation.
