 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 10 MRI in rectal cancer diagnosis and preoperative staging of [Abstract] Objective To evaluate MRI in the diagnosis and preoperative rectal cancer staging. Methods 27 cases confirmed by surgery and pathology of rectal cancer cases, all patients were on preoperative MRI examination, MRI sequences included conventional T1WI, T2WI and fast gradient echo with fat suppression (FSPGR. the tumor size and signal, the situation around the infiltration and lymph node enlargement, the image observations and surgical and pathological results were compared. Results T staging, MRI diagnosis of lymph node metastasis, the sensitivity degree was 36%, specificity was 97.6%. Conclusion Preoperative MRI for cancer diagnosis and staging, the accuracy was high, the choice of surgical approach on clinical guidance for good. [Keywords:] preoperative staging of rectal cancer MRI diagnosis [Abstract] Objective To discuss the purpose of this study to analyze the accuracy of MRI in the diagnosis and preoperative staging of the disease. Methods 27 patients with rectal cancer proved surgically and histologically between January to December of 2007 were studied. Each of them performed MRI before surgical operation. MRI study included T1WI, T2WI and FSPGR pulse sequences, size and signal intensity of tumor itself, surrounding infiltration, and lymph nodes around the rectum were observed, and the imaging findings were compared with those from surgery and pathology. Results In the preoperative T staging, the accuracy of MRI was 96.2% rate. The specificity of regional lymph node invasion with MRI was 97.6% rate. Conclusion The accuracy of MRI is high accuracy in patients with rectal cancer, it is helpful for clinical.
