Background: This study analyses the perianal fistulae in detail with various MRI sequences to get the best possible surgical outcome. Materals and Methods: Prospective Study with the sample size of 50 cases, studies over 2 years from August 2018 to September 2020, studies at Padmashree Dr. D. Y. Patil Medical College and Hospital and Research Centre, Pimpri, Pune. Result: From our study involving 50 patients, 21 patients underwent surgery. The sensitivity and specificity of MRI in detection of thick fistulous tracts is 100%. The sensitivity of MRI in detecting thin primary fistulous tract and thin side branch are 50% and 71.4% respectively. Conclusion: MRI fistulography is an excellent guide for diagnosis, surgical intervention and has emerged as an imaging modality of choice.
