Imaging tests for diagnosing colon masses
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether CT or MRI scans can accurately identify and describe colon masses. It might help doctors choose the best imaging test for you if you are suspected of having a colon mass.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been referred for an imaging test because your doctor suspects a mass in your colon
- You have had a biopsy or other tissue sample that confirms the mass is present
- You do not have a known allergy to contrast dye or kidney problems
- You do not have a heart pacemaker or other implanted device that is unsafe for MRI, and you are not claustrophobic
- You have never been diagnosed with or treated for colorectal cancer before

This study looks back at your CT scans to see if a new imaging technique can better show colon cancer details. Your participation simply allows researchers to review your existing scans and health records — no extra visits or treatments are needed.
This trial uses a special MRI before treatment to better understand early rectal cancer or suspicious large polyps. It may help doctors choose care that avoids bigger surgery when possible.
This trial studies how well MRI can evaluate liver metastases (spread to the liver) from colorectal cancer. If you have measurable liver lesions, your MRI results may help doctors better track and plan care.
This study uses MRI scans to better plan “curative” treatment (aimed at cure) for sigmoid colon cancer before surgery. It is for people who may still be deciding on the radical (major, curative) treatment plan and who can safely have an MRI.
This trial uses cardiac MRI to better understand heart masses (tumors or clots) and guide treatment decisions. It may help determine what the mass is and how it affects your health.
This trial uses advanced MRI scans to see how well rectal cancer is responding to radiotherapy. It may help doctors better understand which treatments work best for patients with more advanced disease.
