Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in Colorectal Cancer

Dear Colleagues,

In the past two–three decades, we have seen increasing improvement in the staging and treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). MRI is being used to a greater extent in staging rectal cancer and the detection of liver metastases; additionally, MRI is often an important element in multidisciplinary CRC meetings. As MRI technologies continue to develop, it is important that new MRI technologies and their uses are carefully evaluated.

This Special Issue, will cover all aspects of MRI of CRC, including developments in knowledge of the roles of advanced MRI techniques such as diffusion weighted imaging, whole-body MRI, positron emission tomography–magnetic resonance imaging (PET-MRI), artificial intelligence, MRI staging, and liver MRI in CRC, as well as uses of MRI in evaluations of neoadjuvant therapy responses.

We look forward to receiving your contributions. 

Best wishes,

Prof. Dr. Søren Rafaelsen
