Overview
Abdominal MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of appendiceal cancer. Diffusion weighted MRI has been shown to be the modality of choice for peritoneal carcinomatosis evaluation.
MRI
- Abdominal MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of appendiceal cancer.
- Contrast enhanced MRI is the preferred method to evaluate liver metastasis, meanwhile triple phase CT scan is also highly recommended.
- Diffusion weighted MRI has been shown to be the modality of choice for peritoneal carcinomatosis evaluation. [1]
- Peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI), introduced by Jacquet and Sugerbaker is a globally accepted method of determining disease border in patients with appendix cancer.[2]
