Gastric Carcinoma: Ex Vivo MR Imaging at 7.0 T–Correlation with Histopathologic Findings
Ex vivo T2-weighted MR imaging at 7.0 T with a voxel volume of 9.5–14.0 nL enables clear delineation of the gastric wall layers and clear differentiation of tumor tissue from fibrosis and allows one to assess the depth of mural invasion by gastric carcinomas.
