Journal ArticleDOI
Diffusion-Weighted MRI for Selection of Complete Responders After Chemoradiation for Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer: A Multicenter Study
Doenja M. J. Lambregts,Vincent Vandecaveye,Brunella Barbaro,Frans C. H. Bakers,Maarten Lambrecht,Monique Maas,Karin Haustermans,Vincenzo Valentini,Geerard L. Beets,Regina G. H. Beets-Tan +9 more
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
Deep Learning for Fully-Automated Localization and Segmentation of Rectal Cancer on Multiparametric MR
Stefano Trebeschi,Stefano Trebeschi,Joost J. M. van Griethuysen,Joost J. M. van Griethuysen,Doenja M. J. Lambregts,Max J. Lahaye,Chintan Parmar,Frans C. H. Bakers,Nicky H. G. M. Peters,Regina G. H. Beets-Tan,Regina G. H. Beets-Tan,Hugo J.W.L. Aerts,Hugo J.W.L. Aerts +12 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that deep learning can perform accurate localization and segmentation of rectal cancer in MR imaging in the majority of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnostic Accuracy of CT for Local Staging of Colon Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Elias Nerad,Max J. Lahaye,Monique Maas,Patricia J. Nelemans,Frans C. H. Bakers,Geerard L. Beets,Regina G. H. Beets-Tan,Regina G. H. Beets-Tan +7 more
TL;DR: CT has good sensitivity for the detection of T3-T4 tumors, and evidence suggests that CT colonography increases its accuracy, while CT has a low accuracy in detecting nodal involvement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accuracy of Gadofosveset-enhanced MRI for Nodal Staging and Restaging in Rectal Cancer
Doenja M. J. Lambregts,Geerard L. Beets,Monique Maas,Alfons G.H. Kessels,Frans C. H. Bakers,Vincent C. Cappendijk,Sanne M. E. Engelen,Max J. Lahaye,Adriaan P. de Bruïne,Guido Lammering,Tim Leiner,Jan L. Verwoerd,Joachim E. Wildberger,Regina G. H. Beets-Tan +13 more
TL;DR: This study shows high reproducibility and significantly improved accuracy compared to standard MRI for gadofosveset-enhanced MRI for nodal staging and restaging in rectal cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Value of ADC measurements for nodal staging after chemoradiation in locally advanced rectal cancer—a per lesion validation study
Doenja M. J. Lambregts,Monique Maas,Robert G. Riedl,Frans C. H. Bakers,Jan L. Verwoerd,Alfons G. H. Kessels,Guido Lammering,Carla Boetes,Geerard L. Beets,Regina G. H. Beets-Tan +9 more
TL;DR: After chemoradiation, ADC measurements may have potential for nodal characterisation, but DWI on its own is not reliable, and T2W-MRI is already sufficiently accurate.
