Coronavirus infections (CoV) are common in pediatric patients. In general, they produce a mild clinical presentation consisting of an upper respiratory tract infection that does not usually infect the lungs, with the exception of preterm infants and children with chronic diseases. These infections exceptionally affect other organs (heart, brain, gastrointestinal tract), thus increasing their severity.

Method: Retrospective study on 100 MRI records (1.5 T, 2011-2016) from patients with rectal cancer (reference standard: histology of surgical specimens).
Objective: To assess the added value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) to high-resolution T2-weighted sequences (HRT2w) in MRI detection of extramural venous infiltration (EMVI), according to the previous experience of radiologists.
Methods: A cross-sectional study of a retrospective database including 1.5 T MRI records from 100 patients with biopsy-proven rectal cancer (2011-2016; 75 male/25 female, average 63 y/o), which included primary staging (54) and post-chemoradiotherapy follow-up MRIs (46).

Purpose: To analyze changes in MRI diagnostic accuracy in main rectal tumor (T) evaluation resulting from the use of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), according to the degree of experience of the radiologist.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of a database including one hundred 1.5 T MRI records (2011-2016) from patients with biopsy-proven rectal cancer, including primary staging and post-chemoradiotherapy follow-up.
