Rectal MRI: How, why & what radiologists are looking for

Presentation description

Rectal MRI is critical in determining patient management. High spatial resolution imaging is trying to match pathology as far as possible. This talk will cover clinical use of MRI for rectal cancer patients, what we are actually looking for, how technique affects findings and how it is different from other pelvic cancers.
