(A and B) Axial radial VIBE and reformatted sagittal images in a 65-year-old female esophageal cancer patient, = tumor. (A) Image obtained with contrast-enhanced radial VIBE shows mucous layer remains ring-like intact (black arrow), and MRI staging is T1. (D and E) Axial conventional VIBE and reformatted sagittal images; both tumor and mucous layer are blurred. (C) On a photograph of EC, tumor is seen as a yellowish solid mass, mucous layer (thin black arrow) is not interrupted completely, and muscularis propria is intact (thick black arrow). (F) Tumor invades submucosa (white arrow), and muscularis propria is intact (black arrow) via a hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)–stained section at ×100.
