Fig. 7From: Rectal cancer: a methodological approach to matching PET/MRI to histopathologyShort axis diameter of the anatomically matched, i.e. the benign and malignant nodal structures in each group, and the anatomically non-matched nodal structures between MRI and histopathology according to staging and restaging MRI for all included patients divided into a primary surgery (PS) group and a neoadjuvant treatment (NT) group. The nodal structures are stratified in histopathologically verified malignant and benign nodal structures, where all of the benign nodal structures were found to be benign lymph nodes at histopathological analysis. The non-matched nodal structures in this figure are the non-matched nodal structures found in staging and restaging MRIBack to article page
