MRI sharpens the picture: reducing guesswork in esophageal cancer radiation

This study looked at whether using MRI scans helps doctors outline esophageal tumors more consistently for radiation therapy. 21 patients with advanced esophageal cancer had extra MRI scans alongside standard CT and PET/CT. Five radiation oncologists independently drew the tumor on different image sets, and researchers measured how much their outlines varied. The goal was to see if MRI reduces differences between doctors, which could lead to more precise treatment.
