From: Locally advanced rectal cancer: 3D diffusion-prepared stimulated-echo turbo spin-echo versus 2D diffusion-weighted echo-planar imaging

Fig. 3

Representative images for two locally advanced rectal cancer patients. Tumours are indicated by yellow arrows, which are hyperintense on the b = 1000 s/mm2 images and hypointense on T2-weighted images. Intra-rectal gas led to minor signal pileup in DW-EPI images for patient 1 (red arrow) but more severe tumour distortion in DW-EPI images for patient 2.
