Role of dynamic perfusion magnetic resonance imaging in patients with local advanced rectal cancer

Figure 1 Staging dynamic-contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MR1) performed with 3D-T1 THRIVE images; the corresponding color map and time-intensity curves. A: The T1 THRIVE image shows an example of freehand delineation of the tumor during an MRI study performed for staging purpose (the tumor was a T3N0); B: The related color map was created by the software, and the delineation of the tumor on the T1 THRIVE was automatically reported also on the color map; C: The time-intensity curves table show the results of the delineations on the tumor (which correspond to the highest curves) and on the healthy rectal wall.
