Radiologists can have a key influence on decision making through MRI, which characterises patterns of response and post-treatment changes to the tumour as well as other prognostic elements such as lymph nodes, extramural vascular invasion, tumour deposits and mesorectal fascia involvement. However, imaging findings can be difficult to interpret, requiring a thorough understanding of both the findings and the current limitations of MRI.
