The purpose of this study is to develop a new treatment-support system combined endoscopy with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Endoluminal MR imaging using the radio-frequency (RF) surface coil closely placed to the gastrointestinal wall was able to visualize the differentiation of living porcine gastrointestinal wall layers and vascular structures. And the navigation system shows the scope's location and orientation in real time. "MR endoscopy system" would be useful not only for diagnosis of the gastrointestinal lesion but also for treatment-support technology.
