Abstract
Objective
The objective of this study was to demonstrate the usefulness of high-resolution three-dimensional
(3D) constructive interference in steady-state (CISS) MR imaging for evaluating mural
invasion and the morphologic features of gastric cancers in vitro.
Materials and methods
High-resolution 3D-CISS MR images were obtained in three surgical specimens containing
three different gastric cancers.
Results
In early carcinoma, advanced carcinoma, and leiomyosarcoma, the depth of mural invasion
at 3D-CISS MR imaging correlated well with the histopathologic stage.
Conclusion
High-resolution 3D-CISS MR imaging is a useful method for evaluating mural invasion
and the macroscopic features of gastric cancers in vitro.
