Review the anatomy of the supra levator and infra levator spaces of the pelvis and perineum Illustrate a variety of neoplastic, infectious, inflammatory, traumatic and congenital disease states affecting the rectum, anus, surrounding soft tissues and perineum Depict correlative imaging, endoscopic and histological findings in rectal and peri-rectal pathology Provide an overview of key findings that influence therapy selection and operative approaches to rectal, anal and perineal therapies  

A gamut of pathology affects the rectum, anus and perineum, and multiple imaging modalities offer information complimentary to the physical examination for optimal assessment and treatment planning. In an area easy to overlook on routine imaging, we offer correlative imaging, endoscopic, pathologic and operative review of a range of rectal, peri-rectal and perineal disease processes organized by the following topics: Neoplasm- benign and malignant Infectious and non-infectious inflammatory Traumatic Congenital /developmental Vascular Key surgical concepts are discussed, including radiological information required by the colorectal surgeon and current operative approaches to these anatomic spaces to assist the practicing radiologist in comprehensive reporting.
