Overview
MRI can be useful when used with positron emission tomography (PET) for staging esophageal cancer since it has greater soft tissue contrast than CT.
MRI
- MRI-PET can be used to scan the entire body for metastasis with the same accuracy as CT-PET.[1][2][3]
- It should be noted that endoscopic ultrasound is more sensitive than MRI and CT.
