Fecal incontinence is a chronic disability, has serious emotional impact and increased risk for social isolation. Imaging has become important in the diagnostic work-up of fecal incontinence. The research described in this thesis continues the line of efforts to improve the quality and the amount of information provided by imaging to the clinicians, aiming better diagnosis and consequently more accurate treatment of incontinent patients. The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate the role of endoanal MR imaging in the assessment of patients with fecal incontinence.
