Example of Multiparametric MR in a rectal cancer patient. mpMR of the pelvis of a male patient with rectal cancer before the start of the treatment. Corresponding slices of different sequences on the transversal plane are shown. (a) The sequences are, in order: T2 weighted, DWI B1000, DWI B0 and fusion imaging between T2 weighted and the DWI B1000. Notice how anatomical structures and tissues surrounding the tumour – such as prostate, bladder, and seminal vesicles – and artefacts in general show the same hyper-intensity on the DWI of the tumour. (b) Delineations of the tumour done by (from the right left hand side): the experienced reader used for the training, the independent reader, the result of the algorithm and the corresponding probability map generated by the algorithm.
