TL;DR: These expert consensus recommendations can be used as clinical guidelines for primary staging and restaging of rectal cancer using MRI and were constructed through consensus amongst 14 abdominal imaging experts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diffusion-Weighted MRI for Selection of Complete Responders After Chemoradiation for Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer: A Multicenter Study

TL;DR: Addition of DWI to standard rectal MRI improves the selection of complete responders after chemoradiation and helps to consider these complete responders for less invasive treatments instead of standard surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
