The imaging of rectal cancer has evolved noticeably over the past 2 decades, paralleling the advances in therapy. The methods for imaging rectal cancer are increasingly used in clinical practice with the purpose of helping to detect, characterize and stage rectal cancer. In this setting, MR imaging emerged as the most useful imaging method for primary staging of rectal cancer; the present review focuses on the role of MR imaging in this regard.
在过去20年中，直肠癌的影像学检查有了显著进展，与治疗方法的进步同步。直肠癌的影像学检查方法在临床实践中的应用越来越广泛，目的是帮助检测、定性和分期直肠癌。在这种情况下，磁共振成像（MR成像）成为直肠癌初步分期最有用的影像学检查方法；本综述重点关注MR成像在这方面的作用。
