Preferred Abstract (Original): 
Dark-lumen magnetic resonance colonography has been shown to be an appropriate diagnostic tool for the detection of colorectal pathologies. This review describes the underlying techniques of dark-lumen magnetic resonance colonography concerning data acquisition, image interpretation and diagnostic accuracy for the detection of colorectal pathologies. In addition, techniques to improve patients' acceptance are discussed.
