(A-C) Axial radial VIBE, reformatted sagittal and coronal images in 47-year-old male esophageal cancer patients, = tumor, thick arrow = muscularis propria. (A-C) Images obtained with contrast-enhanced radial VIBE show that tumor invades adventitia (thin arrow), and MRI staging is T3. (D-F) Axial conventional VIBE, reformatted sagittal and coronal images, tumor, mucous layer, and muscularis propria are blurred. (G) On a photograph of EC, tumor is seen as a solid mass, mucous layer is interrupted, and muscularis propria and adventitia are invaded. (H) Tumor invades adventitia (black arrow) via an H&E-stained section at ×100.
