Abstract

The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ensures a better TNM classification. MRI offers the advantage of multiplanar imaging and high resolution with good soft-tissue differentiation. The aim of the study was to compare planimetry to relaxometry for assessing tumor response to radio-chemotherapy (RCT). The determination of T1-times is proposed as a means for staging, therapeutic planning and monitoring.
