Synopsis

Keywords:

Motivation: Torso enhanced CT is the standard method for colon cancer staging. MRI is a complimentary method. Our purpose is to develop a MR Colon cancer scanning method with simple process and short scan time.

Goal(s): develop a new T2WI breath-hold scanning technique that eliminates the need for bowel preparation and reduces scan time




Approach: compared the image quality between trans-axial T2WI and axial T2WI in visualization of anatomical structure

Results: Patient examination time for our colon MRI is less than 10min, compared with conventional MRI, our approach offered a simplified and expedited means of visualizing lesion details with superior clarity.

Impact: Our research focused on MRI scan optimization. Without bowel preparation, using breath-hold, our creative trans-axial imaging plan becomes highly manageable and enables efficient repetition of the entire process.
