MRI evaluation of extramural vascular invasion by inexperience radiologist.

CONCLUSIONS: The diagnostic performance for MRI EMVI evaluation could be promoted by targeted training for inexperienced radiologist. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: This study provided the first evidence that after 6 month's targeted training, inexperienced radiologists demonstrated improved diagnostic performance, with a 20% increase in agreement with expert-reference for both pre-therapy and post-therapy MRI EMVI evaluation and also a 20% increase in or accuracy with pathologyfor post-therapy evaluation;while inexperienced radiologists could not gain obvious improvement in MRI EMVI evaluation through the same period of regular clinical practice. It indicated that targeted training may be necessary for helping inexperienced radiologist to acquire adequate experience for the MRI EMVI evaluation of rectal cancer, especially for radiologist who works in a medical unit where MRI EMVI diagnosis is uncommon.
