The improvements in outcomes associate with the use of preoperative therapy rather than postoperative treatment means that clinical teams are increasingly reliant on imaging to identify high-risk features of disease to determine treatment plans. For many solid tumours, including rectal cancer, validated techniques have emerged in identifying prognostic factors pre-operatively. In the MERCURY study, a standardised scanning technique and the use of reporting proformas enabled consistently accurate assessment and documentation of the prognostic factors. This is now an essential tool to enable our clinical colleagues to make treatment decisions. In this review, we describe the proforma-based reporting tool that enables a systematic approach to the interpretation of the magnetic resonance images, thereby enabling all the clinically relevant features to be adequately assessed.
术前治疗而非术后治疗带来的结果改善意味着临床团队越来越依赖于影像学来识别疾病的高危特征以确定治疗方案。对于许多实体瘤，包括直肠癌，已经出现了用于术前识别预后因素的验证技术。在 MERCURY 研究中，标准化的扫描技术和报告表格的使用使得对预后因素的准确评估和记录成为可能。这现在是我们的临床同事做出治疗决策的重要工具。在这篇综述中，我们描述了基于报告表格的报告工具，它使我们能够对磁共振图像进行系统的解读，从而能够充分评估所有与临床相关的特征。
