Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging plays an increasingly important role in evaluating the effect of cancer treatment. Imaging alone cannot predict pathological complete response and imaging interpretation should be combined with clinical information and endoscopy findings to predict complete response. Professor Blomqvist reviews current and future imaging techniques and whether the quantitative can add significant or important prognostic information over the current qualitative techniques.
