Brief summary
This study will explore the potential value in proper therapeutic decision and clinical outcome prediction by using integrated MR-PET system and advanced MR techniques in patients with colorectal cancer.
Detailed description
This research expect that the image techniques and experience in this cancer group may be valuable and helpful for others. With advantage of MR-PET in better soft tissue delineation/functional information and less radiation dose than PET-CT, the ultimate goal in both research and clinical application is to establish new diagnostic standard and management guideline by MR-PET, which can further improve clinical outcome and disease prognosis in patients colorectal cancer.
