SU‐E‐P‐33: Critical Role of T2‐Weighted Imaging Combined with Diffusion‐Weighted Imaging of MRI in Diagnosis of Loco‐Regional Recurrent Esophageal Cancer After Radical Surgery

Purpose: We perform this study to investigate the diagnostic efficacy of T2‐weighted MRI (T2WI) and diffusion‐weighted MRI (DWI) in confirming local relapses of esophageal cancer in patients highly suspected of recurrence after eradicating surgery. Methods: Forty‐two postoperative esophageal cancer patients with clinical suspicions of cancer recurrence underwent 3.0T MRI applying axial, coronal, sagittal T2WI and axial DWI sequences. Two...
