MRI of Rectal Cancer: Initial Staging and Restaging

0.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™

Cost: Free

Expires: 12/31/2028

Take the Course


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.
