This study looked at a type of MRI scan to see how well chemotherapy worked for people with bowel (colorectal) cancer.
Doctors can treat bowel cancer with chemotherapy. They use CT scans to find out how well the chemotherapy is working. They also use PET scans to find out if the cancer has spread.
The researchers think a new type of MRI scan, called a DW MRI scan, may work just as well at finding out about both of these.
The aim of this study is to find out how good the DW MRI scan is at finding out how well chemotherapy is working and if bowel cancer has spread.
Please note: In order to join a trial you will need to discuss it with your doctor, unless otherwise specified.
