A patient diagnosed with rectal cancer is managed by a multidisciplinary team in which the radiologist nowadays participates as a full sparring partner. His/her imaging findings can influence the treatment decision-making. The local staging work-up consists of endorectal ultrasound and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
