Abstract
Purpose or Objective: Current clinical MRI techniques in rectal cancer are unable to differentiate Stage T1 from T2 (invasion of muscularis propria) tumours, and the differentiation of tumour from desmoplastic reaction or fibrous tissue remains a challenge1. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) MRI has potential to assess collagen structure and organisation (anisotropy). To our knowledge, there have been no MRI studies assessing DTI MRI for rectal cancer ex vivo. The purpose of this study was to examine DTI MRI derived biomarkers of rectal cancer stromal heterogeneity at high field strength ex vivo.
