OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether multiplanar reconstructions (MPRs) of MDCT could improve local staging of rectal cancer. CONCLUSION: Adding MPRs, on the basis of the MDCT data sets, provides definite improvements in the accurate local staging of rectal cancer compared with standard axial reconstructions alone.
