Magnetic resonance imaging using endoanal coil in anal canal tumors after radiochemotherapy or local excision.

The ideal method for evaluation of anal canal tumors after radiochemotherapy and/or local excision remains controversial. Endoanal magnetic resonance imaging (EMRI) is a new, promising technique. The effectiveness of EMRI is reported in a study of 24 patients. Axial SET1-weighted and TSET2-weighted, sagittal and coronal T2-weighted sequences using Fat-suppression were acquired. In 4 cases, the low signal/noise ratio did not allow a diagnosis. In 6 cases, the lesion was not detected. Parietal hypo-intense thickening was detected in 14 patients, but it was not diagnostic for disease recurrence. In this study, EMRI showed 58.3% sensitivity and 41.6% specificity, thus it was not useful in the follow-up of anal tumors.[1]
