Using real patient scans, Dr. Kammar compares MRI vs CT scan for rectal cancer and clearly demonstrates how MRI imaging provides superior soft tissue contrast, detailed visualization of rectal wall layers, and accurate information about tumor depth, lymph node involvement, and sphincter preservation.
What you’ll learn in this video:
What is low rectal cancer and how close it can be to the anal opening
Why MRI rectum gives more accurate staging (T1, T2, T3, T4) than CT scan
How MRI helps determine if a permanent stoma can be avoided
How MRI helps visualize the mesorectal fascia and inter-sphincteric space
Importance of MRI in surgical planning and pre-surgery treatment decisions
Unlike CT scans or PET scans, an MRI of the rectum shows critical anatomical details such as the tumor margins, involvement of muscular and fat layers, and proximity to adjacent structures like the prostate, bladder, and anal sphincter muscles.
This makes MRI the most accurate imaging tool for rectal cancer staging and helps in making informed decisions about whether to proceed with surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy first.
If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with rectal cancer, make sure an MRI scan of the pelvis is done before starting treatment. It’s essential for effective, personalized, and organ-preserving cancer care.
