title: [MR imaging of colonic cancer with retrograde administration of contrast material containing ferric ammonium citrate].
abstract: MR imaging was performed with the retrograde administration of ferro-magnetic contrast material and air in 10 patients with rectosigmoid colon cancer. The border of the lesions was well demonstrated in spin echo images, and MR imaging yielded additional diagnostic information to that provided by barium enemas and CT scans in all cases. In conclusion, this type of contrast material seemed promising in the MRI diagnosis of rectal lesions.
