Background Accurate differentiation of stage T0–T1 rectal tumors from stage T2 rectal
tumors facilitates the selection of appropriate surgical treatment. MRI is a recommended …

Background Recent studies have shown that magnetic resonance (MR) radiomic analysis is
feasible and has some value in identifying tumor characteristics, but there are few data …

Objective The purpose of the study was to evaluate the utility of MR texture analysis for
differentiating tumor deposits from mesorectal nodes in rectal cancer. Materials and methods …

Objectives Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is not accurate in discriminating T1-2 from
borderline T3 rectal tumors. Higher resolution on 3 Tesla-(3T)-MRI could improve diagnostic …

Background To evaluate the relationship between MR measurements and the pathological
tumor regression grade (pTRG). Methods Two radiologists independently reviewed the pre …

Purpose To develop and validate a nomogram for the preoperative diagnosis of T2 and T3
stage rectal cancer using MRI radiomics features of mesorectal fat. Methods The data of 288 …

Background To determine the diagnostic accuracy of preoperative T/N stage with magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) in lower and middle rectal cancer patients and the impacts on …

Background: Accurate evaluation of local invasion (T-stage) of rectal cancer is essential for
treatment planning. A search of PubMed database indicated that the correlation between …

Background The oncologic importance of threatened mesorectal fascia detected with
magnetic resonance imaging is obscured by the heterogeneity of preoperative treatments …

Purpose To compare the imaging quality, T stage and extramural venous invasion (EMVI)
evaluation between the conventional and synthetic T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), and to …
