Abstract
<b>OBJECTIVE.</b> The purpose of this article is to discuss the role of imaging in the management of esophageal cancer. <b>CONCLUSION.</b> A multimodality-based approach to imaging is essential in clinical practice to achieve the best possible outcome for patients with esophageal cancer. Radiologists must be aware of the strengths and limitations of different imaging modalities in various clinical settings. The role of a radiologist is to combine information from anatomic and functional imaging, assess metastatic disease and changes in the primary tumor during treatment, and identify anatomic complications after treatment.
