The purpouse of this exhibit is: To review the normal rectal and mesorectal anatomy, To describe and compare the high-resolution MRI features of rectal carcinoma after chemoradiation treatment (CRT). To correlate MRI images with the histologic findings after total mesorectal excision (TME). To review TNM staging of rectal carcinoma. To review the high resolution MRI protocol for evaluation of rectal carcinoma using phased-array coil. To show the accuracy of MRI for assessment of rectal carcinoma staging after chemoradiation treatment.  

High resolution MRI protocol Rectal and mesorectal normal anatomy Anatomical, morphological and signal intensity changes after chemoradiation therapy  Pathological MRI findings with histopathological correlation Usefulness of MRI to help surgical planning to minimize recurrence and complications after surgery Importance of the correlation between MRI findings and pathological features to predict the clinical outcomes
