Aim: Although magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is widely used for rectal cancer staging,
many centers in the UK perform computed tomography (CT) for staging rectal cancer
at present. Furthermore, in a small proportion of cases, contraindications to MR imaging
may lead to staging using CT. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy
of current generation multidetector row CT (MDCT) in local staging of rectal cancer.
In particular, the accuracy of multiplanar (MPR) versus axial images in the staging
of rectal cancer was assessed.
