“…The established staging systems for malignancies of the bowel rely upon assessment of local invasion in relation to the layers of the bowel wall (particularly in relation to the muscle layers), making their definition important [4]. colon carcinoma, then they are relatively easy to detect.…”

Magnetic resonance techniques for imaging the gastrointestinal (GI) tract continue to evolve as a result of rapid technical improvement. This review discusses the diagnostic and technical requirements for optimal bowel imaging and to what extent MR is capable of fulfilling these in comparison with established X-ray techniques. New approaches that have recently been demonstrated for the esophagus as well as small and large bowel are described. These developments indicate that MR imaging of the GI tract is likely to make the transition from research development to routine clinical application.

“…According to the published data, the main part of patients now admit to specialized hospitals with the locally and regionally advanced process (T3-T4, N2-N3), and patients with III-IV stages are operated most often [2,3]. The five-year survival rate of CRC patients with I-II stages is up to 90%, whereas the relapse rate at the locally advanced cancer achieves 46%, while the five-year survival rate is no higher than 38% [4]. In 60-90% cases, CRC arises in "adenomatous polyp-cancer" series [5].…”

“…These advantages make MRI an important means of analysis for the preoperative evaluation of pelvic diseases. In addition, the use of MRI in staging rectal cancer has previously been reported ( 3 , 4 ), however, the majority of the studies have been performed using single screening technologies only. The simultaneous use of three types of cancer screening technologies, specifically enhanced, diffusion and water imaging, for the evaluation of local invasion and lymph node metastasis has not yet been reported.…”

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and water imaging combined with dynamic contrast-enhanced scanning for the preoperative diagnosis and staging of rectal cancer. In total, 72 patients with pathologically confirmed rectal cancer were selected for examination using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with phased-array coils, DWI, water imaging and dynamic contrast-enhanced scanning. The patients were divided into two groups, experimental (simple enhanced scanning plus diffusion combined with water imaging) and control (simple enhanced scanning), for the pathological observations. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for the T staging of the carcinomas using scan enhancement with DWI and the evaluation of cancer using water imaging were 98.5% (65/66), 66.7% (4/6) and 95.8% (69/72), respectively, and the accuracy for N staging was 89%. Whereas, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for the T staging of the carcinomas using simple scan enhancement were 85.7% (42/49), 78.3% (18/23) and 83.3% (60/72), respectively, and the accuracy for N staging was 61%. Therefore, the combination of multiple MRI techniques may be of high value for the early diagnosis and exact staging of rectal cancer.
