Course Overview
This course provides a practical review of MRI in the evaluation of rectal cancer, covering both initial staging and post-treatment restaging. Participants will learn the key MRI findings that drive treatment planning, including T staging, nodal assessment, circumferential resection margin evaluation, and detection of extramural vascular invasion (EMVI). The course will then focus on restaging MRI after neoadjuvant therapy, emphasizing techniques for differentiating post-treatment fibrosis from residual viable tumor and assessing treatment response. Finally, attendees will learn how to integrate these imaging findings into a clear, structured report that effectively communicates margin risk, treatment response, and management implications to the multidisciplinary care team.
Learning Objectives
-
Identify key MRI features that determine initial staging and guide treatment decisions
-
Differentiate post-treatment fibrosis from residual viable tumor using T2 and diffusion-weighted imaging
-
Apply a structured reporting approach to clearly communicate margin risk, response, and management implications
