*Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides little advantage over CT in staging esophageal tumors [2]. MRI also cannot reliably distinguish the different layers of the esophageal wall, which is crucial for accurate local staging. Nodal disease and distant metastases can be shown by CT or MRI. Nodes that are larger than 1 cm in short axis dimension are considered suspect for metastatic disease although size is known to be an insensitive parameter for determining nodal spread. The overall accuracy of CT for predicting regional lymphadenopathy ranges between 50 and 70%. The accuracy in predicting lymph node metastases in the abdomen is of the order of 85% [19]. Dynamic CT may improve the overall accuracy of N staging slightly [23]. CT is useful for determining distant met <ref> Rankin S. Oesophageal cancer. In: Husband JES, Reznek RH, editors.

Overview

In general MRI has not been routinely recommended for esophageal stricture.

MRI

  • In general MRI has not been routinely recommended for esophageal stricture becaquse it is no bether than CT for staging malignant causes of esophageal stricture.[1]
