Fig. 2

A 48-year-old man with esophagogastric junction cancer was pathologically diagnosed using HR MRI as having stage T4b, Sierwert II. a The axial T2W image shows clear thickening of the cardia wall, and the invasion of the left diaphragmatic crus and spleen was also observed (white, yellow and red arrows, respectively). b The axial diffusion-weighted image with b = 800 s/mm2 showing hyperintensity in the cardia wall. c An inhomogeneous thickening pattern of the cardia wall is shown on the axial T1W image. d–f The lesion was markedly enhanced and invaded into the left diaphragmatic crus and spleen on arterial, venous and delayed phases of the enhanced T1W images
