An audit of performance, interpretation, and influence of pretherapeutic MRI in rectal cancer: a Swedish population-based cohort study.

Conclusion Established MRI protocol standards were not universally applied. Missing data and inadequacies in original MRI reports resulted in moderate agreement between the original report and the re-evaluation indicating a risk of inappropriate treatment selection. The results call for further educational efforts in rectal cancer MRI acquisition and repeated audits of image protocol adherence and interpretation quality.
