Phased-array MRI was able to clearly estimate the entire mesorectal fat and surrounding pelvic structures resulting the ideal technique for local preoperative rectal cancer staging.Introduction Rectal cancer is one of the most common tumour in Europe and in the United States (40 cases in every 100...
MRI of rectal cancer: Tumor staging, imaging techniques, and management 2019, Radiographics Efficacy and safety of bevacizumab plus chemotherapy compared to chemotherapy alone in previously untreated advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis ...
First, mesorectal nodal structures recognised as lymph nodes radiologically (isolated mesorectal structure with a round or oval shape, not continuous with a vessel or the primary tumour) were located in the staging MRI; suspicious EMVI was also noted but not included in the count of nodal stru...
MRI is gaining an increased acceptance in local staging, as for its high diagnostic accuracy, as for its simple performance. Aim: The aim of this exhibition is to review the MRI findings in the different T and N of the TNM classification for rectal cancer. Material and Methods: The authors...
Fig. 2. A 61-year-old female, with recently diagnosed rectal cancer. (A) On the baseline staging CT, multiple liver lesions were nearly isoattenuation to background liver and not appreciated. (B) Axial MRI abdomen performed with extracellular contrast demonstrates hyper-enhancing masses on arteri...
602Accesses Abstract The management of rectal cancer is a forever changing phenomena. A move away from radical surgery and towards organ preservation techniques has been seen in recent years. Newer neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy regimes have come to the fore, all of which seem to be improving the pa...
However, there are situations where the physician can request abdominal MRI for staging an initial colon cancer. 2.5. MRI imaging of the rectum Because of the critically important information it offers, pelvic MRI examination is mandatory in staging rectal tumors. The sequences to be achieved ...
Methods:Prospective, single center, single-arm interventional study of consecutive rectal cancer patients that had baseline lateral pelvic nodes on MRI (>10mm) between February 2017 to December 2018. Such patients underwent PET after confirming non-metastatic status on CT of thorax and abdomen. ...

However, there is still a rare of multi-modality radiomics-based methods to predict PNI status for rectal cancer. Thus, we aim to investigate the potential value of multi-modality radiomics derived from MRI and CE-CT for the preoperative prediction of PNI status in rectal cancer patients. ...
