We have reviewed the scientific literature on MR-defecography from recent years to sum up the most important aspects concerning patients' selection and preparation, examination procedure, standardised reporting and the most important pathological findings for pelvic floor surgery. MR-defecography is performed using static as well as dynamic MR sequences of high spatial resolution with excellent soft tissue contrast. The detection of pathological findings (pelvic floor relaxation, pelvic floor descent, rectocele, enterocele, peritoneocele, intussusception, rectal prolapse, dyssynergistic defecation) must always be correlated with clinical symptoms.

It severely impacts the quality of life, leads to limitations in daily life, and can result in social isolation. The aetiology of anal incontinence is heterogeneous and often multifactorial. Depending on the specific genesis, the therapy requires both a high degree of personal responsibility and discipline from the patients, as well as acceptance of the condition and its causes. For the responsible professionals, it is essential to incorporate not only professional expertise but also empathy and patience into the care. It should be gently communicated to the affected individuals that a complete restoration of continence is not realistic in most cases. Anal incontinence can occur in the context of numerous systemic diseases, psychological disorders, as well as due to muscular, sensory, or neurogenic dysfunctions. It can also be a possible complication following surgical procedures. Therefore, a differentiated, interdisciplinary investigation of the causes and their interrelations is essential. Patients should be fully informed about the available therapeutic options as well as the possible limitations of treatment. The therapeutic focus remains on conservative measures. Surgical procedures should only be considered when a morphological correlate is present and the chances of success are deemed favourable.

Symptoms typically do not manifest until 20 to 50 years after exposure. Depending on the histological subtype of PM, the prognosis varies, though the median survival time is only 12-18 months. Imaging plays a central role in the management of PM patients, particularly in assessing operability and treatment response. However, PM presents a unique challenge for radiology due to its rarity, complex morphology, and tendency to invade multiple tissue layers simultaneously. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) is the central imaging modality in the diagnosis, preoperative planning and therapy monitoring of pleural mesothelioma (PM). Ideally, CT should include both the thorax and abdomen to capture the entire pleural space. Tumour thickness and volume, as determined by CT, are important prognostic factors for patient survival in PM. In addition, PET/CT, using radioactively labelled fluorodeoxyglucose (<sup>18</sup>F-FDG), offers additional valuable insights into tumour metabolism. Since PM is typically metabolically active, PET/CT is particularly effective in detecting smaller lesions, occult metastases, and assessing morphologically ambiguous lesions. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), on the other hand, offers distinct advantages over CT, due to its superior soft tissue contrast, particularly in visualizing tumour extent and infiltration of adjacent structures. Dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging, and 4D sequences provide valuable additional information. On the basis of the \"Best Practices\" of the expert panel from the International Mesothelioma Interest Group (iMig), we provide an overview of the common imaging modalities, including conventional X-ray, CT, MRI, and PET/CT. Additionally, we discuss staging based on the TNM classification (Tumour, Node, Metastasis), which evaluates the local invasion of the tumour (T), lymph node involvement (N), and the presence of metastases (M).
